As the article referenced above points out, most America's Cup events end up a sweep by the winner, as the "fastest boat" almost always wins (unlike the Olympics where everyone sails the same boat), which puts a premium on boat design and as a result, many innovations have come from America's Cup races. This year, the AC72s are awesome, and a bit terrifying to sail--some say even dangerous--having taken the life of Olympic sailor Bart Simpson in a tragic accident on San Francisco Bay this past spring. We may never see these boats sailed again in an America's Cup. But competitive sailing catamarans, foiling (airborne on foils), in races on bays or close to shore where spectators have a ring-side seat, are probably here to stay. The AC45s (used in the lead-up World Series races last year) appear to be a safer and less expensive alternative for future America's Cup races.
So who looks to take it all away and emerge victorious? We will all probably have a pretty good idea after the initial races Saturday and Sunday, but having watched both teams, I would favor the Kiwis (Emirates Team New Zealand) to take back to Auckland the Auld Mug.

If might have} but to catch a whiff of the refined perfume, enable me to elucidate what you’re in for. At first sniff, you’ll be treated to a fascinating dance of saffron and jasmine; amber wooden and ambergris; fir resin, and cedar. These notes come together to create the “amber floral” mixture 카지노사이트 that characterizes the scent. Several people say it smells like a horny, refined, cotton candy—not tooth-achingly sweet , however undoubtedly caramelized. One reviewer even known as it “catnip for males,” and, properly, do what you'll with that data.
