[C320-list] Lead changes, collisions, capsizes-amazing AC race

[David Nolte]

Awesome footage, thank you very much!  Great marriage of fantastic boats and technology. Hopefully will help attract a new generation into sailing. Having raced catamarans since the early 80s it's great to see the world coming around to my point of view ;-)

The only thing about this Cup circuit that just does not feel right is the free agency. The Cup really should get back to national teams. Team Korea here? Team China? Please. Not a national member on either team. The skipper for Team China is one of our American "beach cat" heroes, who sailed the Tornado in the last 4 Olympics and brought home the silver in Athens. 

Here's for less mercenary, more national pride.

But you can't beat the footage!
