I have not seen to much talk about the races here. I had the chance to watch them live in San Diego and it was cool to see the scale of them up close. I thought the center support on my old 5.2 sucked this one is huge and definitely in the way. Anybody have any thoughts on it? and what teams are you voting for?

I went to SD as well and watched the fleet racing. Awesome time. The Kiwis will race anything -- watched them run around with a moth on Monday or Tuesday.

The size and speed of those boats is truly incredible. Very fun to watch. And the fact that they can right those suckers is really something. Can't wait to see the AC72s
