They always show stupid stuff like that on espn. The only reason being because some sponsor was willing to pony up the cash to promote the event. I don't see why something like the Tybee 500 or the like couldn't succeed on a documentary basis, but you have to admit, watching sailboat racing is pretty boring unless you know what to look for.

Not to stick a picklefork into things, but maybe "Worst Case Scenario" can do a catamaran edition :P
