I thought I’d write something about the America’s cup, due to start later this month<\/a>. It’s the epitome of Michael Green’s comment in Coarse Sailing, “the only sport where you don’t congratulate the winner when losing, but run into the committee room to complain and get them disqualified”. I was much more interested in the turn of the decade when I visited Valencia<\/a> but it’s a competition of high drama at sea and in the court room. Here my notes for 2020.<\/p>\n
