      Has anyone else fallen down the rabbit hole of big boat racing?

      Winds of 15mph and boat speeds of 45mph and huge 75 foot boats that weigh, well, more than me. The foil and it is just incredible to see, such power, speed, poise and balance.

      You can find it on YouTube, live and catch up. The graphics are just great and really help bring it to life, and understanding! I find it breathtaking.

      It will be the challenger: INEOS Britannia: The Challenger of Record from the United Kingdom versus Emirates Team New Zealand: The current holders of the America’s Cup.

      If you haven’t seen it, make sure you watch some of the AC75 Racing. LV Final

        @DumfriesDik yes indeed I have been watching the Louis Vitton cup on YouTube. I have not missed a single race, and all live too.

        The technology of the boats is amazing. Watching them cat and mouse each other on the course was very intersting. Especially the commentary from both boats crew, discusing tacktics and turning on a tanner at speed. Of course all powerd by two cyclist. Just amazing sailing.

          I thought I was the only one watching!! Also seen the whole series of the LV cup.

          Those boats just amaze me.

          Can’t wait for the actual AC racing. Ben seems to be getting into his stride – especially at the start where so often races are won and lost.
