It's unbelievable how fast those boats accelerate at the start.

No motors involved? No care. Keep your douchey spam rich tossers sport to yourself.

WTF?! Lose your girl/boy to a sailor or something? Afraid of seamen ;) ? Go back to your off-ramps wanker - it's an absolute great race. I couldn't sail one on my own but spent a summer on a crew doing regatta's in Oakville - what a blast! And those boats are closer together than you'd think. Couldn't imagine what would go into winning America's cup. Thanks for the links - I've been catching what I can on weekends but there isn't great coverage.

Nope to any of your suppositions. I'm just not a fan of sports catering mainly to the super rich. I'd happily watch any highlights of them colliding or sinking due to being torpedoed though. :)

Too bad about avoiding sports catering to the super rich - you'd probably love motoGP! Some great action there if you can get over all the money ;)

No I don't like that as it's totally dull.

I have sailed for most of my life... racing is anything but dull if you have a competent skipper and boat.
Don't believe me? Go crew at any club level race. If you can come back saying it was boring then the skipper you had is lousy or you're adrenaline requirements outstrip anyone I have ever known.

At JC100 --- Please do some research before spouting out your @ss. You don't need to be super rich - a common misconception. You can buy a 24-27 foot boat for $10K nowadays without problem - less than any new litre bike. Dockage fees about the same as equivalent bike insurance/gas.

If you want to compare Americas Cup to anything, MotoGP or F1 is about right. Otherwise, anyone who is regularly attending track days will easily spend as much as a common club sailboat racer in a season.

....so......just how much do those nice oracle boats cost then? 10k...I'll buy one right now.

Stay on topic...we're talking about a specific race. Seriously suggest employing old German u boats to hunt the yachts down....last surviving yacht wins. Would pay to watch.
 
Sailboats are the water equivalent of F1?

I can watch a highlight reel of the AC but I can't imagine sitting through hours and hours of it....

Being on the boats is one thing. Watching it live is an other.

Turtle racing.

Technologically speaking, yes. There's at least as much, if not more R&D goes in to those cats than a F1 car.

Just because a racing yacht can cost close to 10 million and operating cost at 100 million doesn't mean they can supercede F1 numbers in terms of R&D. Red Bull Technologies Limited (the design & build operation of Team Red Bull) spends around $300 million alone.

You win the award for clueless posting.

The masts are $10M a piece if you factor in R&D.

"I think the actual physical boat is about 18 per cent of the total budget - certainly in our case. The boat itself has never been the major cost, it's the massive amount of R&D and people you need to do that - that’s where the real cost is.

"Something like 60 per cent of the overall budget is people. Not having a nationally clause means it’s Champions league type of stuff.
"I heard a figure quoted that the budgets had only gone up five per cent - that's bollocks. Whatever team has only spent five per cent more has either not been at it not very long this time - because time is money - or spent miles too much last time. Our budget has certainly not [just] gone up five per cent." Grant Dalton - Emirates Team New Zealand
 
Awesome stuff, love that the AC45's are not as constrained in the wind maximum's as the AC72's. Looking at the training AC45's with foils I wonder if that's the next move for AC45's.
Still can't believe 100' cat's doing pretty much 60 mph+, coming from years of windsurfing and some sailing in small dinghy's (Laser's).
