Americas Cup

[JK]

This is crazy

[canefan]

Who says AC isn't exciting?

[Kruse]

Eyeties are fuuuucked.

[Toddy]

Almost turned it off when we went down. And then laughed hard at the commentator who said it wasn't over yet.

Absolutely crazy.

Going backwards like a WW2 Italian tank

Me, after I just about destroyed the TV when we were parked.

I guess the difference between exciting and infuriating is who is winning...

[Kiwiwomble]

Shit, I briefly tried to think of a WW2 gag, but gave up, resorted to simplicity and profanity.

[Toddy]

Italy sailing home now?

[canefan]

I won't settle until this is over

[Donsteppa]

Keep on those foils for one more leg....

[canefan]

Time is a factor. We have 14 minutes to complete the race apparently

[canefan]

Who said light wind racing couldn't be exciting? Might be the most exciting AC race ever

[Tim]

Now that's some drama!

[canefan]

We almost dropped down at least 3 or 4 times. Looking well in hand now. Deano isn't on board so there will be no nose dive finish

[canefan]

One last tack towards the finish. What a race. A lesson in never giving up

[antipodean]

And they've crossed the line. Now that was an interesting race!

[Donsteppa]

The grinders deserve a beer tonight. If they didn't have racing tomorrow

[canefan]

Italians going for take out

The way the boat sits so nose low is stressful when falling off is a possibility
