      Except these were IACC boats, not 12 Meters. But agreed, much better than the flying "boats" they use now; although at least they've gone back to monohulls and soft sails - but still foiling so not much improvement.

    Apart from the fact that's a superb race, I think 2007 was a negative watershed for the AC. Almost the last of the big dinosaurs and real racing on semi-open water with tactics, trim and guile. Now it seems we have incredible technology, matched only by the levels of corporate and sponsor's bullshit and all taking place in an overgrown wet dock..... These monohulls are great but sad to see crew racing mainly for their career rather than their country (though I'm sure some were).

    AC version 5 did the job within Sailor's my community but never hooked more fans and struggle to grow the audience. New era is here and we should embrace it. Close combat, fast machines, epic spectacle on water, great digital content and better public engagement. This will only take our sport to an new audience and hopefully will be in the same league like motorsports

      "Close combat, fast machines, epic spectacle" OK sure but it's not what the America's Cup was all about. AC is (was) yachting, not race cars and crash helmets. Don't get me wrong, I like watching foiling cats do flips as much as the next guy, but it isn't taking "our sport" to a new audience; it's taking a new sport to an audience not interested in sailing. Leave the high speed thrills and spills spectacle to speedboats on water and Indy cars on land.

    • @tsfullerton
      @tsfullerton Před 5 lety

      Dull?? I understand the controversy/criticism/nostalgia of the cats v.s. mono's in the Am Cup. After all, for over 100 years there were no Cat's in the Cup and such radical changes are naturally unsettling to tradition. However, I never followed the Cup until what I saw on San Francisco Bay in September, 2013. I don't believe we will EVER see are more exciting, grueling, come-from-behind regatta as that. How can words describe it? Kenny Read and Gary Jobson would likely agree. The images of those boats flying neck-and-neck at over 40 knots and taking flight while bearing away from the marks at close to 50 mph left me speechless and are unforgettable.

  • @markcrociati6429
    @markcrociati6429 Před 3 lety +1

    Though these boats are slower, their speed allows for better match racing. The new cup boats are exciting and follow in the tradition of AC innovation but it seems their races are won in the pre-race. 80% of the time, the boat that gets the jump ahead in the pre-race wins. Also, they don’t run, only jibe and tack so no beautiful spinnakers for speed and dramatic effect. The current boats would pitch-pole.

      I don't understand how that would that have helped.I would've thought it would've been better to just have done the penalty as close as possible to the finish line, as they had to crawl the last stretch after the penalty. I guess they would've lost overall even if they'd won this though. At least it was a competitive final series for a change!
