    Anyone enjoy watching the America's Cup racing?
    The series is tied at one-all, Team new Zealand against Alinghi (Swiss), a rematch of the 2003 AC.
    Day 3 is Tuesday, carried on VS channel at 8:30 ET.

    You can see animations of the Vuitton cup selected qualifying matches on

    its a demo of the software to watch live,
    I like to look at the demos in 2x or 4x speed, interesting to see the tactics.

      I have always puzzled why, with all the money they spend on those boats, they can't just buy a motor...

          Watched all of the LV cup I could, and am trying to catch all of the Cup races as well. Watching sailboats sure isn't for everyone, but if you know what you're looking at, it's pretty exciting.

          Used to do a LOT of big-boat sailing years ago, and had the honor of sailing on a US challenger in 1974 (the boat sucked).

          Can't get over the changes in technology just since that time.

              I can't tell why, but last time around I really got sucked in. Couldn't wait for this one, and was disappointed there was so little coverage of the LV cup.

              Judging by the first two races this cup promises to be an exciting one!
