Sort of funny how all the egos go for the line i did it many times take him up no room to go up no protests nobody wants to go to protests. Fleet racing accidents happen. Then after the aggressive start line close packed maneuvers things spread out, crew loses focus and then another chance for collision at the first mark and so on and on and then maybe a bewildered and disgruntled crew afterwards talking about what went wrong. I am a dedicated cruiser now but i still love watching Americas Cup started following way back when Stars and Stripes and Dennis Connor was in the thick a lot of changes and new developments since then thats what i like and the presentations of races is so good nowadays its very exiting nothing at all like watching the grass grow or the paint dry and so very technical and experimental. Next races Prada Cup Final Luna Rossa vs Brittania feb 13-22
