Lots of American $$$ behind the effort though.
It was fun to watch, but it's pretty rare air when only 4 teams can afford to even build a boat to enter.
There were only 7 AC72s in the world and 3 of them are wrecked/retired.

Man just be happy America won. I guess when the pats win the super bowl this year it won't be worth celebrating because most of the team is not from NE and Tom Brady in particular is from California. :P
And when did it become the "in thing" to discredited someone's success because they have the means to further excel themselves.
