Tim, we'd get our butts handed to us on a plate with an all American team. French, Ozzies, and Kiwis are just better sailors.
I understand that, but we have to ask ourselves, WHY??
Because they can make a living at it.
Are you saying American Sailors can't make ends meet on what Larry is paying the Expats to sail his boats?
I still don't understand why both teams went out and got Monohull experts to race their catamarans, when there were plenty of world class catamaran racers available. The mono guys are -still- making mono-match racing type moves that most cat guys know won't work.
Of course THEY can...but to get to that level for them to look at you, you have to sail a lot while finding a way to pay the bills. That, or have a connection that gets the ball rolling.
Can you list the pro catamaran sailors out there where sailing is their sole occupation? {cricket, cricket}
