Exciting America's Cup Coverage

Check out this coverage from the recent AC match in San Diego. Informative (even for non sailors) and well done with great use of new technology. Very exciting, even in light air. I was on the fence about the use of multi hulls, but am completely behind it now! I think the San Francisco AC is going to be great for sailing in general. Great venue, a lot more air and even bigger, faster boats...should be amazing!
Though...I had to laugh at the hyperbolic computer generated intro. The POV camera comes up from a coral reef to reveal the SF Bay! In reality, even if that visibility existed in the SF Bay, you would be looking at mud, not coral! If you check out the video, be sure to watch the final fleet match.
