I am a long time (50 year) fan of the Americas Cup. I doubt an NZ competitor would lose so many races to allow an even final race. But I wouldn't doubt Oracle may have carried some extra water weight to sandbag the first few races and force their guys to sail better. I'd love San Francisco to keep the cup but I have no love for Spithill or Ainsle or the non-American crew. Whoever wins deserves it.
I hope the next series is longer and adds a clause, " must win by two races" similar to tennis. Or rather a longer 8 hour long race around an island similar to the original race by schooner America.

Any conspiracy theorists out there? Are the Kiwi’s letting Oracle catch up to increase the excitement level so that AC 35 will be even better televised, followed by the non-sailing media? I agree that this has been one spectacular AC. I just wish I had had the opportunity to see them live from SF Bay!
