I watched some of the racing from Fort Mason, they have incredible speed that is not done justice on the tv. On Tuesday the American yacht came out for practice, it had a lot of support boats around it they all left it and this yacht just took off as if it was jet powered. It was instantly on one hull tearing towards the Golde Gate Bridge, awesome.
In San Francisco they are very passionate about the race the water front was packed on Thursday, all listening to the live comentery, watching every move the boats made.
