30th America's Cup Race 1 ITA vs. NZL | AMERICA'S CUP

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

Best Americas cup in Auckland

V

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.

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

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

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

Sailing is sailing. Foiling is sailing.

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

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

Go kiwi.
Upmost respect for prada

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. !

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

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

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

It WAS a beautifull races

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

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.

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

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

Hanno distrutto la passione vera per il vento!
I mezzi di oggi non hanno nulla a che vedere con la vela.
L'america's Cup ha perso la maggior parte degli appassionati come me che amavano la semplicità .
La tecnologia serve al business e il business distrugge tutto.
Tornate agli ACC perché la tecnologia e la velocità NON sono IL FUTURO, il futuro è LA PASSIONE e basta!

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

Were these boats cheaper than today's flying machines?

Barca superiore in tutto 🎉😭

it was a more romantic and human regatta, boats that even though evolved still had an ancestral navigation bond and approach , much more tactics, crossings, taking the wind away from the opponent, change the sails, many more emotions

now they look like spaceships with a sail and inside do cycling, start at full speed and end of the story

Amazing to be reminded of what AC racing looked like before the introduction of multihulls and foiling monohulls. And yeh, I’d sooner watch trad / non-foiling monohulls race than foilers, any day. To the haters, welcome to the world of human preferences 😂

Sailing dinossaurs...

So different to the current boats and racing I love the new type boat its like chalk and cheese or more like Moto GP

Pensare che pure la Svizzera, terra di formaggi e sci alpino, è riuscita a vincere l'Americas Cup....
Sono 25 anni che LunaRossa-Prada e Pirelli cercano di farlo ma falliscono....
Non si sa cosa va sempre storto....

How slow these boats were .. like dinosaurs

These boats are beautiful, but seem impossibly slow and lumbering now compared to the modern hydrofoiling ones.

Way more interesting to watch.

Soooo slow 🐌 yawn 🥱

This is as boring as anything to watch.
it's like watching cricket. yawn

As a sailor, I much prefer this to the current AC75s.

Its like watching truck racing vs F1 compared to this day and age. Still awesome to watch.

NZ has pretty speed advantage in downwind.

Real sailing please come back

Yeah the good old days looks more competitive

This is how the Americas cup should be.
