Big on Sailing


More than any sport, I am big on sailing. This summer, the season brings in the biggest sailing event in its history. And historic it is. For it only holds the record for the oldest trophy in the world.

It's the 32nd America's Cup season. It's been 5 years since the cup have been challenged. A match race of top sailors and cutting edge boat designs. Some say its a design race others a helmsman's race. But that's what makes it fascinating. Learn more about ACC in Understanding the Cup a bigginners guide.

From a series of races one Challenger boat will out manuever, literally, 11 contenders to face the Defending Champion, Swiss boat Alinghi and yet another series of one on one match races to determine the winner of this 155 year old mug.
