Bring back real sailing, big capable boats and races that aren't over in 5 mins because the boats are so fast.

Agree wholeheartedly Joe, Whilst I have sailed catamarans for 20 years, I think the America's Cup should be sailed in 12 metre or similar.
Let the cats race for the Little America's Cup (International Catamaran Challenge Trophy).
I too hated anything less than 15 knots.
I think national teams should be all from the one country, including coaches.
