I'm the OP, just for the record. In the beginning I found the racing exciting and the TV coverage excellent (I could do with a bit less graphics). Now I'm rapidly losing interest. Too much wind. Not enough wind. Wind 5 degrees from the wrong direction. It's starting to resemble NASCAR.
It's a sailboat race, fer crying out loud. Just get out there and race the boat!
The kicker for me was Friday's race when the Kiwis had a 2 minute lead but didn't finish in the allotted time, 40 minutes, so the race was abandoned. Why 40 minutes? Good question! That's so they can fit two races in a 2 hour TV schedule. Good grief.
Pardon me while I go switch to the poker on another sports channel.

Another day with no plans to use calculus.
Watch today. The winds and tides should provide good racing.
GO ORACLE!!!
