My humble opinion is that sailboat racing is something you do, not watch. In
going with foils the organizers are trying to make it interesting to watch. I
don’t find it so. They are only going 40 mph; speedy for a sailboat, but you
can practically walk that fast! The part of racing I find most
interesting—tactics and boat interactions—is missing. In these matches they're
just banging opposite corners hoping they’ve chosen the right one.
I think using foils has cost them a large part of their audience. I certainly
am not watching or caring about the sailing, but with the IACC boats I was
riveted. The last race in that class came down to the seventh race of a seven
race finals and the boats finished overlapped! That was exciting!
