The Americas Cup World Series event in Plymouth starts this Saturday. I'd like to get there for a day, but not sure yet if that will happen. Depends in part whether the forecast looks likely to produce racing worth the journey. Any other Sprint sailors thinking of going?
If you don't go, its still worth watching the action on the AC YouTube channel (follow the "videos" link from http://www.americascup.com). They produced hours of coverage from the last event at Cascais - which is still available online. The racing highlights programmes are ok, but if you have the time its better to watch the full unabridged coverage (skipping the dull parts), then you can watch each whole race unfold from pre-start (reaching starts!) to finish.
Although there's no UK team, there are plenty of UK sailors to support. In particular, Team Korea's crew is 4/5ths GBR, including skipper Chris Draper and one-time Marconi cat sailor Mark Bulkeley as trimmer.
