I love your optimism, or should we call it delerium? The leadership has been extremely clear about their intent.

Uncle Larry is our last and only hope to keep this on cats. I hope whatever he's doing to preserve his outside is being equalled on the inside, should they actually pull off a victory over ETNZ.

"10-12 knots reported from racecourse; prospect of crews using Code 0 gennakers during racing, something heretofore unseen on racecourse."

First race where there will probably not be much foiling, or visibility.

OH MY GOD! 7mm of difference in the king post length. I'm sure that adds 1 kagillion of (no) % of a performance improvement.. OK, fine, it's illegal, they've withdrawn already. Can this be over already?

At least a multihull will stay afloat. If you get caught in the rigging on a mono going down they will be pulling your body from Davie Jones Locker.

Class act the Italian's were in defeat. I'm looking forward to seeing all these guys back in 3 years.

Now it's time to fire up the AC and see what these races should bring!

I'm too lazy to go back 20+ pages to find the TV schedule I posted here, for the AC Finals, anyone know what date the first race is? Sometime early in Sept. right? Is it around the 7th?

I'll go search the NBCSC site, if I can find it!
