      And that’s it for the LV cup. Loved this series, and the racing far surpassed my expectations

        There has been almost zero media interest in the Louis Vuitton Cup in the UK until today.

        It's going to be interesting to see how much excitement a British boat being in the America's Cup generates.

          Wouldn't it be great for them to finally win the cup. For the sport too - NZ winning it all the time is getting boring

            @W32 The Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron has won the Cup four times so there's a long way to go to catch up with the New York Yacht Squadron's 25 wins.

            Once we overhaul the Yanks, then I wouldn't begrudge the British a historic win.

                        The first race is postponed because of the weather.

                                        Obviously pattern emerging. New Zealand with an advantage upwind. British edging it downwind. Game on!
