What happens to the boats that were used in the last race i wonder ? So expensive to have a lifespan measured in weeks.


Rooting for their own: I'm all for that, except that the Kiwi's will once again beat us like a rented mule.

AC Boat lifespan:
The winner is put out to stud, for a fee. I hear they're breeding the NZ cat with the old 12 meter Stars & Stripes. That's why the next boats will slower monohulls with foils.

I believe the losers get put through a giant tree branch shredding machine.
Think "Fargo".
