As a New Zealander and a yachtie, I have been watching the Americas cup racing with great interest as Emirates Team New Zealand races against Oracle Team USA. If you want to see incredible technology and dramatic sailing, check out http://americascup.com – Oracle have done a fantastic job at bringing this racing onto our TVs and browsers. And, Kiwis, don’t forget to wear your red socks… Andrew.
