Won't ever happen nor will there ever be a NYYC sponsored boat ever again.

i am talking about the avg conditions,,,,,,

i am sure that there have been many storms that could sink
these racing vessels out there; but, generally speaking, isn't the Pacific much calmer than the Mighty Atlantic??

what the frick do i know anyways,,,,,,,,,,,
the only sailing i've helmed was a 17' Prindle(sp?) on Lake Walden outside of Houston. or as rail meat for some of the local yokels out of Ida's. wish i knew more and sailed more to be honest. it's "a little" above my pay scale for the time being,,,,,,,,, still, i love to watch The Cup and i do believe that it would be GOOOOD for Newport!!

I have a friend who has been a captain on the 12's for over 10 years.And while they are not new,they are well maintained,regal vessels.He has some bone chilling stories about transporting boats back from St.Maarten.I've been down there to visit him before.If a 12 year old girl can sail around the globe,it can make transport look sane.
