    These AC72s just betray the laws of physics when you see them on one hydro plane.

    Sports man of the year IMHO but no doubt the Paraguay fan will get that gong

    I hope they bring it to the IOW next year

    Im going if they do.

    Until you see one in the flesh its pretty much impossible to comprehend just exactly how impressive they are if the other boats I have seen have anything to go by.
    I saw a whitbread round the world race boat once in Cherbourg and it just dominated the marina they are like F1 Cars then some IMHO

    Im saving up now LOLs
