Going to Bermuda this year.

Saw the AC 72 class in 2013. It is unbelievable how fast upwind the hydrofoiling boats can go.

I am a fan still of the 12 metre class, the one that Dennis Conner won back the Cup in the 80's. I still like them. I quess that's why I still like air cooled motors.

Here is a link to the last Cup race which America's entry won after losing the first 8 races.

If you like fast things then thought I'd share

Here is a link:

Now that the Kiwi's have their own continent now....I.m sure they.ll make a great run at it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

They should have had it last time. It was devastating but a helluva Cup raceto watch for sure.
