Great sport, I love it.
But it has become a billionaires boys club.

It was a millionaires club.
But since "Alinghi" and
Bertarelli entered the scene,
it has become a circus.
Bring back the 12m mono hulls.

Yes, Twelve Meters match racing was great but too slow for most people. The new single class AC 75s are amazing and, because they race on a spectator course and get in a couple of races in one afternoon, you don't have to be a sailor to appreciate.

Watch Panerai (Luna Rossa) vs Omega (Team Emirates) in these highlights from AC36 Day 7
