Anyone following this? I watched the second round on Sunday and will be recording today's race. Was amazed at how fast these cup boats are. I used to race monohull sailboats but we couldn't achieve speeds anywhere near what these boats are doing.

9/14/13 - Today was incredible. The Kiwis nearly capsized and it cost them the race. Second race was called off.

About 29 minutes in you'll see the near capsize. Oracle had to tack to avoid colliding with the Kiwis, really awesome visual. I think Team Oracle would have won this race anyway, they were trading off the lead up to this point and it looked like Oracle had a definite advantage.
