I don't pay much attention to it these days, offshore and out of mind. And that silly business down south with the idiot whatsisname threatening to never come back over the dolphins made me cross. But I like it when we win, and when it is local.
But it is such a different sport these days, so tech, so beyond the pure sailing days, I can't really see it as the kind of sailing I grew up around. I'm sure these guys could manage something like the old Spirit of Adventure, but they might find it a bit pedestrian, whereas sailing on her was a highlight of my youth. Even the terror of going up and over. Those were the days, lol...
