Watching this is 2021 is interesting. I enjoy that tech side of the AC75’s, but this is definitely more pure sailing. It would be super interesting to do a cup that went back to displacement boats. Or heck- even both. Man- the longer I watch the better it gets.

[@hcrun]

A bit late, but thank you for this. I followed the 'Cup from 1962, when Gretel was the first Australian challenger, all the way through to the end of the AC-Class era. Once nationalism went out of it (designers/crews etc from the separate nations) and the boats changed to the the things we see today, my interest died. It's great to relive the good old days. :)

[@slooob23]

I wish the Ozzies would enter the cup again, it would be great to see NZ and Australia do battle again, especially in a cup match.

[@jaysamuels489]

I agree , I'm a Kiwi and would love to see Aussie back in the hunt.Some real talent in Aussie and I'm sure there must be plenty of sponsors willing to get on board..

[@danfrednz]

sailing is not like a cricket game. under arm, sand paper. they are just to dumb.

[@shaenebuffster]

THANKS Mate for posting this. Just luv watching these races. Many Thanks again

[@fairwaysandgreens77]

IACC yachts we're fun to watch. Great post mate.

[@colliver069]

Wonderful footage, thanks from an Aussie, who misses that we don't have an Aussie boat in this competition any more.

[@CB2C]

Yes, but 90% of oracle members are Australian.

[@mitchellluxton7471]

Hopefully we can join back in one day but I’m 13 years old and I like this racing more than the foiling stuff as far as racing goes but the foiling boats are cool

[@shoegum7362]

Can't believe I'm saying it, slow sailboats more exciting than fast sailboats in AC

[@slooob23]

Except this was the best race of the entire regatta, most were boring follow the leader affairs.

[@Jezza640]

That is my aim with this channel is to bring back the memories from the classic America's Cup. And you are welcome :)

[@deathzone5893]

Jezza640 yeah thanks I love the foiling cats and foiling monohulls but I still do enjoy watching the memories of all the old Americas cup

[@johnlaing9124]

Blast from the past. A very gracious Russell Coutts and Brad Buttdrworth. Talk about tac's. Thanks for the memories.

[@ashleymalamute]

This race is what started the Lucky Red Socks campaign. Peter Blake was not inboard for this race, and he wore red socks when on board. The absence of Blake and his red socks was quickly noticed and suddenly everyone in NZ is buying red socks.

[@StFidjnr]

This was the 1st last and only time tnz lost the race on the water

[@leonscheepers5350]

As much as I've enjoyed the spectacle of technology (4xwindspeed), this is real tactical racing - using different sails, outsmarting each other, very different ...and much more entertaining .... this relies more on skill than design

[@DoubleMonoLR]

Even the non-foiling boats could get pretty fast in the right conditions though. My ideal for viewing would be non-foiling boats with high winds(with some variability) & sometimes choppy conditions.

[@leccioantico3582]

ma che spettacolo è questa regata!!

[@beeDUB75]

so much more combative than the drag racing we see today. Not as fast but better racing.

[@strickystrickland5065]

Are you kidding foiling is way better this is a snooze fest

[@nads274]

Nothing wrong with drag racing on the water lol.teams are way more athletic now ......this is hella boring

[@nads274]

@@benisrood go tell that to the professionals then.....that you don't consider what they do as sailing

[@drh02]

Couldn't agree more. People seem to think faster is better but that was a great watch. Now most races are decided at the start and that's it.

[@shiraz1736]

[@CarloEpi]

fast doesn't necessarily mean better!

[@Jezza640]

They certainly do seem slow now haha, I believe these mono-hulls had a top speed around 17 knots, maybe 18 knots in a strong breeze. The current cats have got 10 knots more speed upwind, they are truly amazing.

This is a lot better than the on-steroid drama-driven format nowadays. Hopefully, NZ returns it to monohulls.

[@johnmccarthy2152]

I think that the AC 75 was the best design for the America's Cup. It was lightyears ahead of the old 12 Metres and required true sailing skills, tactics, and strategy. Boat handling, sail handling (or not, as we saw when Australia One rounded the first weather mark), and old school seat of the pants sailing is infinitely better than these carbon fibre abominations that they have zooming around the America's Cup courses now. These were beautiful boats and their pre-start maneuvering brought new meaning to the phrase, "The mating dance of the lead-bottomed money gobblers." lol

[@DoubleMonoLR]

AC75 are the current boats.

[@Coyotehello]

then announcers were so bias, it is laughable.

[@TheForge10]

After watching the current cup these boats seem so slow

[@mixsetup]

They were stupid as in the trials Australia II beat One Australia and they still used the slower boat.

[@hcrun]

What a ridiculous statement! Australia II was a 12-metre...these things shown here are IACC yachts....used between 1992 and 2007.

[@nads274]

Ppl moaning about wanting to see these types of boats back on the water for the cup......well it ain’t gonna happen.it’s all about the ever evolving technology now and I’m glad for it personally

[@idenhlm]

We used to speak about the drama of the Americas cup, now it's just all about the money. And chest beating.

[@Fabianweso.]

Watching this because it's much better than the current cup

[@samsonmorrell]

8:56 F**k me haha

[@nickbenfell4327]

Prefer the foiling cats. These things are slow in comparison and the racing is no better.

[@deathzone5893]

Nick Benfell yeah I agree dont understand why people would rather see the slow monohulls but I still enjoy watching the old monohulls back in the previous Americas cup

[@hcrun]

@@deathzone5893 "...dont understand why people would rather see the slow monohulls...." For many of us they are a more beautiful yacht than the ugly - yet very hi-tech - multi-hulls. It's a little like preferring the beauty of a Lockheed Constellation over the technical innovation of an Airbus A380.

[@deathzone5893]

Bruce Kennewell the airbus a380 is a beautiful plane. But we're gonna be watching foiling monohulls which I think will be just as exciting as the foiling cats. And definitely better than the slow monohulls. But the decision has been made foiling monohulls alot of people are actually glad to see foiling monohulls and even Peter burling. If others ain't happy with it then that's their problem they dont have to watch the Americas cup.

[@shiraz1736]

@@deathzone5893 What's your thoughts now after watching the latest boring as batshit racing were seeing in NZ?

[@chrisdorn5202]

Great to see! Amazing history but foiling is the future. This is just too slow now we have had a taste of the the beautiful AC75’s. Watch the Prada Cup final and tell me it’s not a sensation.

[@boomchakalaka3715]

Agree with karl. The only way foiling boats could be fun to watch is if they used one design rules (identical boats) otherwise as you saw we had 6 races before a single lead change.. I've watched 7 America's cups and 2021 was by far the least exciting.

[@boomchakalaka3715]

@Karl Burnett I'm with you 100% I think if you are going to remove close racing, close passes, sail changes, exciting pre starts etc etc then the boats have to be evenly matched at that speed. I thought before this started the results would be split seconds in some races but kilometres! I'm genuinely saddened by this change and for the first time since 88 I wont be buying the shirts, magazines etc I sat there bored for most of it and after waiting 4 years was let down. Hope that can turn this around...

[@boomchakalaka3715]

@Karl Burnett your also spot on with the cost being the biggest factor to the absolute disappointing turn out of teams... again if this was a one design race (identical boats) with a max cost of 20m you might get Brazil, Germany, Argentina, Switzerland, France, Belgium, Spain, Australia, china, Japan, Malaysia, etc many who have participated in the past but feel rightfully that 100+m for a boat race is just too much. The upside to that is about 70% of Switzerland watched when they completed but prob less than 10% this time.. imagine if we could attract just 30% of the above nations to watch... the numbers would be 10x that of any previous AC.

[@boomchakalaka3715]

This is just 1000x better to watch than the current boats.

[@gorky1317]

Living proof this foil bullshit isn't sailing. It's graduated wakeboarding. Get us back to real sailing. Hah, as if that'll ever happen.

[@DoubleMonoLR]

It could happen, whoever wins can do what they want. Both American & Italian teams implied they'd like to return the next cup to non-foiling if they won at the previous cup.

[@goldenstars8983]

This is real American Cup racing, close battle all the way the new "flying" boats have done nothing but take the joy of this sport and stomped all over it.
