I was shocked when I saw the photos of the sailboat crew wearing crash helmets!!! America's Cup racing has always been cutting edge and extremely expensive but at least the sailors looked like sailors and the boats looked like boats, not like something out of Star Wars and the Dutch Grand Prix Formula One Motor Car Race.Michel wrote:IMHO, the whole "experience" of sailing and cruising has turned into a kind of extreme sport for many. It goes with the present era but the old ways are not dead and buried also. Not yet anyway!

Re: Last Sail Of The Year???

And I can say that I am perfectly happy just ghosting along the shore at not being in a hurry at all!
