Many of us who sail are having difficulty, until we stop and catch ourselves, grasping the America’s Cup of today. It is profession entertainment. Yes we all are seduced by the technology of the boats themselves, but almost everything surrounding the cup is a little less savory. The history of the America’s Cup is one highlighted by contentious behavior, but it seems we have reached a new threshold of behavior. It is all about the money.
In stark contrast is the newly launched site about “Figaro”; Bill Snaith’s boats. Much like the story of the Nye’s “Carina” it is a story of family and friends. I encourage readers to visit the site.
