Sheer American class......
- Thread starter Dingo
- Start date
The American challenger for the America’s Cup. They had a terrible accident and totally wrecked the boat. All the other teams helped them out with spares, labour and technical assistance to get them back on the water. Racing starts again Friday.
Sounds good!
Good grief! I watched a video of the wreck.

First 30 seconds or so show the capsize, but then it's mostly talk till about 4:30 where they show multiple angles...
I haven't been following the cups for the last several years.
What the heck have they done to the boats? They're using foils now? Was that their solution to banning cats?
Seems more of a tech competition than a test of seamanship now...

It has come a long way since they 1st came out with the gull wing keeps...all wrapped up to hide it. They started the drive to utilize the technologies at hand today. But as you saw...technology can't fix human mistakes.
