[QUOTE="richg99, post: 237186, member: 4376"] I was impressed how lean and mean the boats were. No frills at all. One of our big ship cruise-mates wanted to know if the America's Cup Boats had "cabins" on board?? Heck, the only thing that was below decks was more sails. If you had to go potty..I think they'd just drop you in the sea and pick you up on the next go-around. The program ran for about 2 1/2 hours. 20 minutes were spent getting us from the dock to the boats and assigning everyone their jobs. 40 minutes to practice and get everyone up to speed on the boat and what was going to happen. Then 90 minutes of flat-out racing. The boats passed each other with less than a yard to spare two or three times. We lost to Canada II by about 18 inches on the final leg. Great fun it was!!!! I have zip-lined and white-water rafted...this was, by far, more fun and exciting. R [/QUOTE]
