I remember the '82 Cup and almost everyone, even in the US, wanted the Assies to win. Mostly 'cuz Ted Turner was such an obnoxious (expletive deleted)who whined and moaned about the keel.
But the Aussies also had "style" and nouse, which counted for a lot, and that made it a real contest. There was something on the radio the other day aboutr how the court basically tore up the rule book.
a) What real business does a (non-admiralty) court have in deciding a yacht race?
and
b) If you're just gonna tear up the rule book you might as well let Hydroplanes or Offshore racers compete, no?
