Friday Race Day - 34th America's Cup - Pre-Race Photos

Thanks to Paul I was lucky enough to watch the Friday America's Cup races on one of the New Zealand hospitality boats.

I enjoyed it so much - not just because it was a sailing race and one of the top ones but because I was around sailing enthusiasts. Whether they are active sailors or not, New Zealanders are enthusiastic about sailing, much like the French. I was really hanging out with like-minded people...

These wings are absolutely amazing. Ultralight, incredibly tall.

The race was actually easier to follow on a screen!
