I miss the pre-start shenanigans that must have been hellishly tense in those beasts!

[@aspencat2239]

they brought that back

[@AdamazarskiMD]

It WAS a beautifull races

[@geoffperkins8796]

I was on the water that day and in fact spotted the boat I was on in the video. Great experience ..

[@Silvius.2]

Old AC racing was great ... New ships racing likely last AC against Luna rossa was super interesting! Tactical more difference to use, likely slowing down from luna rossa and so faster with all! New Zealand was thinking great with new foiling AC! More spectacle racing likely in auckland AC36 was ❤️. Oracle changing was also nice, catamaran racing was also ❤️ Some still want old AC back, but AC must developing, that's the right way

[@francoisde-martrin-donos6167]

Merci pour cette vidéo, pour un terriens de la campagne qui adore la voile mais par sa situation géographique ne peut malheureusement la pratique tout les jours. ..j'adore. !

[@bigkiwial]

Ah, back in the day when tha americas cup involved actual sailing!! And im sure pete montgomery could make a light rainshower exciting!!

[@santosl.harper4471]

Define sailing?

[@santosl.harper4471]

Angelous Bacon hydrodynamics has nothing to do with sailing champ...

[@santosl.harper4471]

Angelous Bacon 3 out of 6? That's a higher ratio of sailors than the ICAC crews! I've raced at premier level in NZ and also happen to own a jet boat! What's your point?

[@santosl.harper4471]

Angelous Bacon I'll say it again! Hydrodynamics has nothing to do with Sailing. Calling me a fuckwit? Wouldn't you rather talk tactics and design? Fuck you. The point is foiling isn't the point! In fact foil design has been a staple in the AC since the 60s. Real sailors aren't talking about foiling but rather the implementation of hydraulics instead of man power resulting in one touch winching and trimming. Moving oil as opposed to grinding for line tension is overlooked because people are bewildered by flight and boat speed. You wanna talk sailing you fuckface?

[@TheForge10]

So the current ones are not sailing ? Spokem like someone who has never sailed.

[@determouse]

Go kiwi . Hope next regatta is as much fun for all

[@cpt.marley]

When America's Cup was a race between two boat.

[@determouse]

Go kiwi. Upmost respect for prada

[@Viendopiedra5029]

Sailing is sailing. Foiling is sailing.

[@StFidjnr]

2:38 no harm to both boats no foul

[@wntu4]

I quit watching AC when it ceased being about monohull racing.

[@TheForge10]

Good for you

[@ficklemedia8733]

Really enjoying these videos. I keep thinking about how this will look when they are foiling 😳😳😳

[@americascup]

Amazing.

[@stephenkelpe6118]

""" Was a cool yacht ; NZL-60 ..

[@bajsetbrinner72]

Stephen Kelpe reminds me of the movie Winds... nice boats!

[@abatesnz]

Were these boats cheaper than today's flying machines?

[@nicholassmith3786]

Best Americas cup in Auckland

[@scannorse]

The commentator has it.....”time to kill....”

[@CarlosMartinez-ks6eo]

Good times with dial up, mechanical winches, tons of tackings...summarising: times of real sailboats!

[@epram73]

This is the real and only AC!!!...NO FOIL!!!

[@georgemack6378]

V

[@jimmyj100]

Every comment on here: ‘I miss these boats.. this is ‘real’ sailing’; from noobs who have never sailed before

[@TheForge10]

Yeah love the i hate foiling these were rhe best comments. On every vid. Noobs.

[@masonmunkey6136]

This is undeniably better racing

[@paratrooper7340]

They cannot imagine how much I miss real sailing races for the America's Cup, now they have these things flying on vertical wings and struts skimming across the water and if that isn't fast enough for them I heard at my club that jet engines will be used to create wind in the next cup races - so why not just throw away all pretenses of sailing and admit that what they really want is the Reno Air Races.

[@adobedoug2564]

PARA Trooper also GET OFF MY LAWN!

[@directorstu]

Ac has always been about tech.

[@directorstu]

These Yachts were true beauties though

[@craigwalker9121]

Para , I agree I love this type of sailing , what is your opinion of the "mule " hulls ?

[@TheForge10]

How Bertarelli waa able to challange in the first place was a joke. Rules state challenger must be located on the sea. Geneva is on a lake.

[@Sean40K]

I think you are getting confused with Alinghi in 2003. Prada Challenge was racing under the Yacht Club Punta Ala, in Tuscany.
