As a kiwi that lived through the Americas cup challenges of the 90s the sport is pretty close to my heart.<p>These boats are amazing and I’ve been following along this year but it’s the first time I’ve found it harder to connect. Now the team and head down cycling it’s hard to feel the same way as when they were running about the boat.<p>I’ve sailed a fair amount and love the sport. I love all the boats, monohull, cat, flying, in the water. If you haven’t seen it, check it out. The technical mastery that has created these machines is off the chart. The fact that with just the right shape, you can harness the breeze like they do just defines belief.
