Wish I could have been in Baltimore to see them. We saw the Formula 40's race in Miami, very up close. It was incredibly awesome -- well, there really are no proper adjectives to describe it.

Unregistered | Do they ever fly spinnakers or just those genakers? They looked pretty tight luffed, like they could be used upwind. | | | Re: Volvo Extreme Won by Smyth on Hilfiger

Unregistered | Guys/Gals: Check Volvo sailing out this weekend. Got this from Schuttlebutt: BIG WEEKEND FOR TV For those of you who crave more sailing on TV, OLN has come to the rescue. At 4:30 pm EDT this coming Sunday, OLN will air a show produced and narrated by Gary Jobson about the 286-boat Acura Key West 2006. But the televised sailing action actually starts a half hour earlier. At 4:00 pm EDT OLN will show a 30-minute program on the Volvo Ocean Race. And that’s just the first show in a series of four programs on the Volvo Ocean Race -- all of which will be aired on successive Sunday afternoons. (Program 2 - 5/14, 4:00 pm - 4:30 pm; Program 3 - 5/21, 4:30 pm - 5:00 pm; Program 4, 5/28, 4:30 - 5:00). -- http://www.jobsonsailing.com/tvsched.cfm & http://tinyurl.com/fckrwDoug | | | Re: Volvo Extreme Won by Smyth on Hilfiger

Posts: 6,049 Sebring, Florida. | Thanks Doug! I'm always amazed we don't see more TV coverage here in the USA. When I travel to England, Ireland, Brazil, Germany, and Italy, they air a show produced by CNN International called "Mainsail" which covers the major regattas world wide, every Sunday night. Why can't CNN USA play it? I would much rather watch that than say...Bill O'Rieley reruns or Desparate Housewives...

OLN has a lot of sailing. Swedish Match races and even had the Tybee once. If you have a DVR check there guide for future shows or maybe you can go to the OLN website.
