We need to find a way to tap into this momentum...



I can't find the video with these comments. Can someone provide the link to the press conference? How about the NBC commentary about US yacht clubs needing to get kids on high performance boats?

Is it just my iPad or have a lot of videos disappeared?

I was thinking more of AC36 and beyond for a relative who just got out of college. Very athletic & lightweight, but a little skinny on the sailing resume.

As a multihull kool-aide drinker, it's hard to comprehend having to start on Optis...

Found the quote in the press conference. Cool!! Larry references Hobie Cats at about 47:56

We have been working hard to ride this one. The Simpson accident put a lot on hold I think. We are still working on this for the future.

I am surprised at how little the whole cup thing got onto media. Greg Thomas was over in France during the finals and said he simply could not get anything on it. The french guys at the factory were oblivious to it. He saw the final race when he returned. You really had to be dialed into the event to know what was going on. So, the event is not the key to our success as cat sailors, but getting Oracle and the AC to invest in new sailors, especially if on cats, possibly is.

Three challengers for this America's Cup. Is there any way you can reduce the competition a bit so we can do away with the whole race thing?

JS: Not a bad idea

Crossing

Is that real? I don't remember it and it is a very dramatic turn, but the crew reacts as if pushed by the forces created by the turn.

Nah, can't be.

Yes I remember that, Slingsby even yells Starboard to the kiwis as if they could hear him smile
He possible overdid the turn a bit for dramatic effect, and gave ETNZ a penalty.

The crew walking from the wing toward the hull makes me laugh for some reason.

The call replays don't lie (like telephoto lenses can):
