For a few minutes I had the best view in the bay.

The minimum number of planes one should own is one. The correct number is n+1, where n is the number of planes currently owned. This equation may also be re-written as s-1, where s is the number of planes owned that would result in separation from your partner.

Excellent shot. To bad you didn't get the New Zealand boat almost tipping over. These boats are incredible. 50 mph!!!

Team USA docked 2 wins for cheating. Plus not sure it should be called team USA. Only 2-3 of the 24 sailers are American and boat designed and built by mostly New Zealanders.

Default Congrats america

What can I say, the Americans did it. They won the last 9 races to keep the trophy. This link explains how the hydro foils work to fly the boats. Quiet amazing.

Floyin sile-bouts...wuddle thy think of nixt?

Seriously though, congratulations to both teams. Despite bemoaning the demise (at this level) of old school Gentleman/Sportsman sailing competition, I have to admit this is a breathtaking accomplishment.
