There is only one race track in San fran.....It becomes difficult to schedule enough action on the water and accommodate all of the teams ... eg... challengers get exclusive use of the water etc. This is not a simple problem of money... there are a lot of factors... (San fran waterfront space for instance) What I would like to know is how many spectators sat and watched the race on the water waiting for the boats to zoom bye... versus sitting in the amphitheater and watching the production real time on big screens versus those who watched it on TV far far away.

I suspect that they get the exact same TV show anyplace in the world they have reliable breeze.... now the shore side scene is up for debate... Bermuda counts on the cruise ship industry for hotel rooms... How many tourists would come for the ampithetre experience? Could Berumda pull off a better event then San Fran... It is an island that depends on the tourists.... this would be a real shot in the arm.. Interesting organizational problems...

Back back in the day... Bermuda had a large Tornado fleet housed at the old RAF Naval base... This would be a big return to high performance sailing.... (not counting those Bermuda skiff things!)
