The American cup is a cooking thing, right?

The relatively new (to the America's Cup) hydrofoil boats are impressive--they can get up to around twice the speed of the wind. I remember watching the races held in San Francisco Bay in 2013 when they were first introduced--rather entertaining.

I prefer the old big boats.

Aye, for aesthetics I'd go with the original schooners but it's about speed under sail, not aesthetics.

It's about rich guys waving their dicks in the breeze.

I watched pre-foils and while the start was exciting - the rest was paint drying.
Now it is F1 and closed course that people can watch from shore and online.
The next round of tri-foil 100' boats will circumnavigate the globe in under 40 days.
They outrun the waves in the Southern Ocean !
Rich guys can't afford America's Cup boats....big corporations barely can.
