Americas Cup Sailing ....
-
As a US resident, but proud New Zealand citizen - way to go Team New Zealand!! The Americas Cup is going back to NZ.
If you haven't seen the yachts they're sailing, the video below will blow you away. These boats going downwind can do 4x the windspeed, going upwind, they can sail at 2x the velocity of the wind blowing against them. Seeing them get up on the foils for the first time is mind blowing - these boat are literally flying at 50 mph, where a moments distraction can cause a massive accident.

I love watching the AC races, so much fun! I used to crew on standard sailboats up to 140' or so, and I loved it. I never did it professionally like those guys though.
Team NZ is always my favourite, but the Swiss were pretty fun to watch too.
0If I've helped or saved you a lot of time I'd appreciate if you send a tiny bit of BURST my way!
