The greatest race ever?
I just finished watching race three in the America's Cup on my DVR. For folks unfamiliar the America's Cup competition is an international yacht race that dates back to the 1800s. For the first 132 years the US won the cup (longest winning streak in history) but it has been recently held by the New Zealanders and Swiss (despite Switzerland being landlocked!) The US got ousted a while back and its down to the Kiwis and the Swiss for our cup. Going into today's race it was knotted up at 1-1. And what a race. Watching yacht racing has been described as being as much fun as 'watching paint dry.' But today's match was a nail biter. There were two or three lead changes and everytime it looked like one boat had it sewn up the other charged back. In the end it came down to a tight finish. Some folks are calling it the greatest race in America's Cup history and I'm not sure I'd disagree. And as a web junkie you have got to love the America's Cup website, very cool. 0 comments from 0 users
