    St Nazaire (Fr.) is famous. Not for Ac foilers. They will jump to self destruction. A cool picture though, costed them their cup. I was convinced they were going to win. Because of flat bottomed ground effect but it's a long story.

    It was modern drama. I know fellow guitarist Brain May for Queen  personally. It doesn't have to end in drama. he's still alive with Phd in astrophysics. 74 years of age. Anything I can do he can do better. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_May But he's still an upper class nice guy...

    Not entirly true, They have Dhows. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUIU3Qe0LQQ Interesting sailing. Actually descibed by former sailing bible Marchaij, aerodynamics of sailing.  It was declared one of the most efficient sails until wings and double sail wing effect driven by AC. Still very...

    What a surprise, AC chose the most expensive, least sustainable new harbor for their final. Well I don't mind,  I'll be visting with my son and wife. Been there more then once, awfull on the wallet. Cheers!

    Fubar, Fucked beyond reason, so try another city instead. Why not Bermuda? Football or soccer as you call it, has stadiums that are almost holy; this one is the best. Wembley. Queen, rockband, played there.

    No way, Valencia is a much better choice, not too expensive. I am against spillage, do not over do what has been done before. You get an epic headquarter for free instead of paying 100 millions for being in the most expensive outgoing town in Europe. Unless you want that, Being most expensive...

    Barcelona is often being sung as very special. This version from the late Freddy Mercury from rockband Queen is quite famous. It was used as a tune in the 1992 Olympic Games that were held there.

    True, Regularly on the news:  they want to ban busses and large hotels. That's why the already build america's cup harbor in Valencia might be a good idea.

    Another good reasonto choose for Barcelona is it is about the most luxurious town to party in Europe. Countless restaurants, bars, nightclubs. Not to forget 5 star hotels, top musea, and a very special cathedral by top architect Antoni Gaudi. Not cheap though but the cup never was.

    There is also a bid from Valencia. https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/americas-cup/126293877/valencia-confirms-compelling-americas-cup-hosting-bid It's a kind of waste to build an america's harbour 300 km north of an excisting one.
