I came across this interview with the unnamed race director of Americas Cup 33. It's quite long but very informative about the course and what they need to do to manage the race. It's going to be exciting as no one has ever seen these boats match race against each other. One dodgy tack and there could be a hell of a crash. Sounds a bit like NASCAR. The actual racing gets a bit monotonous but the possibility of calamity is magnetic.
It's also going to be cold. I am betting the coldest conditions ever raced in the Americas Cup.
