America's Cup San Diego

thanks for the reminder Philip

Are you planning on being there?

You bringing your boats?

No, no planning on bringing the Cats. Figured it would be a nightmare.

Ok, what time(s), channels, youtube?

There is a live webcam showing the crane where the AC45s will be launched from.
I am not sure there will be any live coverage today actually.
It could be that it starts o Wednesday but am not 100% sure.

Old news for those who haven't been following but Darren Bundock to skipper/replace Coutts for Team Oracle.

I guess the "Americas" Cup has to be at a foreign venue to get full coverage.

Is this a 'permanant' change or just for this event?

And did they race yesterday? Weather Channel was showing a lot of rain in So.Cal. yesterday.

no racing yesterday

They where racing yesterday, wins by Artemis and China Team, Bundy had a 4 and a 2.

Technically I stated it wrong, Bundock is helmsman, not skipper, for whatever that's worth.

live feed is up

My fiance will just happen to be in San Diego this weekend. She plans to attend Saturday.

I was at the event on Sunday. Great day for watching! We were camped out right on the pier next to the USS Midway. There are two fingers you can go to the end of without a pass. The middle one you cannot. That is where most of the teams are. We were right next to actually looking over the leeward mark, then the finish line. That is the best place to watch unless you buy a pass to be on the Midway, which would be a great seat but no closer to the action.
