The sailing in these big catamarans with hydrofoils is superb. Sailing racing is a bit like chess - tactics and the ability to think several moves ahead are crucial. No engines here mate - wind, water and winning ability. > >Would you care to summarize the America's cup story? >Was your comment about some manuever in particular that brought the >win? Oracle Team USA brought in Brit Ben Ainslie as rteam tactician after trailing about half the races over a 19 race series. They then won every race following, back to back, and won the final race today to take the oldest sporting trophy in history. Until now most sailing racing wasn't really classed as a spectator sport, but these new boats change a lot. Search Youtube and have a look at some of the action. Not for everyone, but anyone who's ever been sailing will be hooked.
