I used to do some "Spinaker Class" racing with some owners of nice sailboats and I would love to be on a boat like these. I watch the AC when I can find it on the tube.

I use to sail that boat that was in Perfect Storm.

Good Blue Water boat , But what a slug .

I ever hit the lottery, it's a 90' yacht with a all girl crew.

Well NZ lost this time
But did we really lose as Oracle's boat was made in New Zealand, a lot of the crew were New Zealanders so really we beat ourselves? But America has the cup so I suppose America won with a lot of help from New Zealand

I'd watch, if those so called "race" boats had 12,000 hp engines in em.
I guess I like brute power, so as far as my enthusiasm goes, not seeing humongus engines in the boats kinda takes the wind out of my sails.

They don't need motors
They fly

Ya, but penguins don't fly as fast as falcons.
