I watched some of the race on Friday night.
Those boats cruise for sure...look more like planes than boats.
I will say that I prefer the old boats when you had to change sails and had crewmen running all over the place.
Guess I am just old.

Yes I,m old school too,wish they would go back to the old style boats as well.Pretty much whoever gets ahead at the start wins the race.The American boat had quite the crash,hope they can get her back up and running for the semis. |

I think I liked the old boats better. When they weren’t planes.
