Larry Ellison is Badass
I know I am probably the only person here that watched us win the America's cup today. Coming back to win 9-8 after being down 8-1 with a record setting win was pretty cool. Did even one person on here watch the race?

Amazing technology; it really isn't a boat anymore. These things use what is basically a wing to catch the wind and then lift it out of the water. The turns these things can do is absolutely astounding.

It was absolutely awesome. That final run by the US was bad ass.

I read an article related to a sailing death due to the high speeds of the boats the other day on yahoo and my first thought was "Uh WTF those monsters do what 20 knots tops?". I was amazed to see in such a short time how advanced these sailboats have become and was shocked after watching video of them in action. I read about the furious comeback the US was mounting and am glad to hear they kept America's Cup home where it belongs.
I will also admit I was a bit saddened to see the death of the traditional sailboat, I mean what happens when the current generation watches One Crazy Summer? They won't even know what that thing is with the Ferrari stuffed in the back... Last edited by COchief; 09-25-2013 at 09:49 PM.. |

The race itself is from about 13 minutes to 38 minutes, I believe..... If you watched the first races, it is pretty amazing what the American team did. They were getting smoked. Badly. They turned it around completely. Add in the fact that they had to win 2 more races than the Kiwis due to penalties, and you start to appreciate what they did. |
