Come on you think millions of people are going to tune in to see two 18 ft cats match racing? How is this event going to be any different than the Alter cup or something becides the match racing part. I agree this is dumbing down not a step forward. I of all people do like the high price of some sailing events and efforts but heck the Americas is suppose to be the best against the best, including their technology.

The Worrell 1000 I will watch on TV but not two 18 ft beach cats match racing, doesn't seem exciting to me.
