Posts: 2,490 On the Water | ". . . we have been fairly critical of Russell Coutts, Larry Ellison and the organization they set up to run the 34th America’s Cup and our criticism stems, mainly, from the fact that very few of the promises that were made four years ago have been realized.
Our friend and acclaimed multihull sailor, Kostas Trigonis, disagrees with our wrong, in his view, opinion. Trigonis, twice World champion and six-time European champion in the Tornado class, praises in his editorial what has been achieved in the 34th America’s Cup, despite the initial shortcomings. For him the future is here and there is no turning back. The 34th America’s Cup has brought tremendous progress and it would be a pity if we went back. This is what he has to say about the current America’s Cup and what he hopes to see in the future:" Kostas Trigonis see no turning back

“I’ll tell you this. I enjoy sailing any boat in any form. But cats give you something that other boats demand special conditions to pay you back.
“It’s called pleasure!
Everybody that tried never went back.
“You cannot go back after you sailed a boat like this”

No need to hurry, they are on delay awaiting lower winds, which I doubt is going to happen before their drop dead time in about an hour. They should be on for tomorrow, winds allowing of course.

Kinda funny though, YouTube thinks I'm in I think Russia, or at least some country that uses an cyrillic alphabet that looks like it came from a calculator.
