America’s Cup…

Well…as you know, I sometimes like kind of weird sports…having a had a big thing for curling a few weeks back and even watching some cricket sometimes…and I just discovered another one…kind of obscure, for me anyway…just the other day I came across sailing for the America’s Cup and, while I have watched it before when they used the big, monohull boats, I have never seen the type of sailboats they are using now. These boats are catamarans but their cool part is they use hydrofoils that lift the boats 4 feet out of the water and make so they can go almost 50 miles an hour. And I am hooked again…watching it again right now for the challenger’s trials and then in two weeks will be the US against the world…should be fun….
