Anyone watch the America's Cup races ?
Anyone watch the America's Cup races ? Those AC50 boats are really impressive. Able to do about 50 knots in a 16 knot wind. Simply amazing.

Able to go upriver faster than the (opposite) current, with zero wind.

F'ing magic, in the Arthur C Clarke sense.

Oracle scratching their way back in it again! Two passes in the last race - very impressive.
