I guess that I should assume that its not about a boat race any more - it a business that happens to involve boats.



My guess would be a few F-18s.

It's not about a race or business, it's about to rich guys with oversized egos. But that's what the AC has been about since it began , just newer faces taking it a little farther. In the big picture , none of this is new. It's just exposed more because of today's technology. You just know more about it,faster.

If a man is to be obsessed by something.... I suppose a boat is as good as anything... perhaps a bit better than most.
