America's Cup - Henry C

For me the America's cup was a exciting tournament with very dramatic moments. At the start I wasn't very in tune with it but on about day two or three I started watching and I couldn't take my eyes off it. I saw in the paper a few days ago that 700,000 people were watching it on TV and 170,000 were watching the live coverage on stuff. I think that it is amazing how fast they go ( 40 knots average speed ) even with all the technology they have it is really hard for boats with out engines to go that fast. I don't know that much about the America's cup but if this is Dean Barker's first America's cup victory he shouldn't get a knighthood, he needs at least 5-10 wins to get a knighthood.
