27 mins into this, Emirates blows out it's jib halyard, has to cut the jib loose, jettisons it over starboard into The Bay. Very dangerous predicament. All very near The Golden Gate. The photography is exceptional.

I just watched that race start to finish and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
You could fill book with what I don't know about sailing (and they have... How to Sail - 101). I don't understand the tactics or strategy of racing, but I really enjoyed watching that race.
I agree the the TV coverage was great,and very nicely supplemented with informative graphics.
This year I've begun to hear more of the calling of sailing, and not just because of the price of gas.
