Best Americas cup race ever. Blow my mind. Great match racing at its best.

This is the best sailing Race i've ever watched hands down!

I remember watching this and thinking this is the best America’s Cup I have ever seen.

Foils and catamarans are fun to watch for a while but this is REAL sailing.

SUI 100 was the design pinnacle of this class.

This was yacht racing at its finest.

Well...that's the best match race I've ever seen

The americas cup needs to be like this again. The foils are cool but the sailing sucks.

Missing these races. Glorious sailing.

viva monohulls!

Unbelievable race, exciting each time watching. Not one team but yachting is winner!

I remember watching it live on tv......i could not hold my breath.. to be fair up until today every time I watch it back... that was real america's cup.

One of the best races in AC history. I wish they'd go back to these boats.

Wow look at those boats... snail-paced compared to today ^^

That was sailing!

I feel there is far more skill and tactics in this racing and yes, I like spinnakers.

It is not possible to have a race like this with the current boats. I love the foiling boats. They are a marvel of engineering and watching them sail is incredible. But you can't match race them. The only thing that matters is staying of the foils. There is no recovery from mistakes and there is no real need for racing tactics outside of the prestart. Has there been a single close match race with these sorts of tactical lead changes since they started foiling? Edit: I stand somewhat corrected. There have been some fantastic races in the Challenger series for AC36. Maybe it's the multi hulls that cause poor racing not the foils. Not being able to easily tack means they just sailed boundary to boundary. The AC75s don't lose much in tacks so they can fight a bit more.

Proper match sailing

Wow! What an awesome race!

This was absolutely fukn heartbreaking

I knew what how it ends and my heart was still pumping... If only they'd held off the penalty for another 10 meters. But one of the best AC races ever.

Fantastic, a sailing Masterpiece, never seen anything like this

Great race with so many emotions...

Incredible. Amazing how many crew mistakes lost this series for Team New Zealand. People blame Dean Barker but it really comes back to all those spinnaker issues.

That was an outstanding race.

A Photo-Finish with this style racing is unheard of

Une régal , rien a voir avec la Parda cup où franchement il ne se passe rien. Ici se sont de belles manœuvres , de l'esprit d'equipe et de sportivité . Un temps maintenant révolu. Sick !!

Yup, was exciting stuff!

We want this ships again!

That was awesome

Yes, I too miss the races between boats . . . sail boats, not foil boats. This is so much more exciting than the current races going on now btwn NZ and Italy.

I was on the water watching this. We were at the top mark when they dialled down. Alinghi stuffed them on that mark for sure.

Greatest photofinish 🤗😍♥️

Bring back the monohulls!

I miss these boats.

Valencia was the best AC ever; plenty of teams, competing on more equal terms. Shame we screwed it up.

These boats were true so-called boats, with sails, spinnakers and a crew on board that counted as a small town! Kiwis won the recent Auld Mug so, if they want to come back to the roots of sailing, they just have to ask 🏆

The tactics by NZL are maddening

Brilliant - remembering the 1992 and 1995 cup races in SD - what has AC become with these new boats

That was a real match racing! Tactics not just speed on foils. AC 75 is like F1 and unfortunately the same level of emotions.

The real match race..

Damn that was good .

barker stuffed up the penalty at the end, turned too quick and lost too much speed

So much better than the new foiling boats. THIS is exciting, not having a race be decided in the first few minutes or leg because someone was going 10 knots when the other is going 40. I want to watch a chess match depending on team coordination and tactics, not two fire crackers, wondering which one will be a dud.

Éstas luchas titánicas con colosales competidores (defensor y desafiante) algún día las volveremos a ver, cuando el romance reviva y con ello venza al afán por los presentes avances tecnológicos que nos someten a precoces carreras sin contiendas ni por la posición en la línea de partida ni al largo de una pierna. Espero con ansias el retorno de épocas románticas dado que ésto es el fundamento de los Defensores y desafiantes de la América de las 100 guineas.

Can you please upload the 33rd edition of the Americas cup

When sailing is at its best. Bring back the monohulls

- good job!

You get closer than that . 👏

Fantastic suspense.

Molto più avvincenti, fisiche entusiasmanti queste regate, di quelle attuali. Quando la tecnologia supera il limite, è in grado di snaturare anche lo sport più divertente!

The remote control versions race on

The boats were close in speed, but alinghi seemed to have a slight edge upwind. I think this was to do with the hull shape, particularly Alinghi's fuller forward sections that seemed to stretch out healed waterline length. Love to hear from anyone that knows more about the designs.

I like it

What a finish !!! 😱😰😅👍

Wow, not for the faint of heart! 😱

AC 75 boats amazingly fast, but not a single race has yet matched the compelling drama of these races by the earlier class boats.

I watched this on the 23rd March 2021, without knowing the who actually won it and boy... was my heart pounding !!

So much more interesting than what is happening in AC racing today.

Cats can not compete, this is AC racing at its best

Where did the Match Race in modern America's cup end up?

That's proper sailing.

Watched all seven races. Can’t figure out why the NYYC is handing keys to their AC challenge to Deano and Terry Hutch

NZ went through that penalty too early at the end, if they waited a couple of seconds more there would have been a race 8. Still, not as anguish inducing as 2013, but it still was a pretty depressing day

Good sailing times

Here we are again. N. Z. Vs Italy. 1 race away from winning for N. Z. 16 March 2021.

What happened to Switzerland (SUI) ?

Good times, when sailing was real sailing

Current AC is an indicator of our times all about entertainment with no substance. It attracts people that know nothing about the art of match racing, killed all sailing schools that started MR programs because of AC75 and moved the purpose trophy from sailing to football.

team nz should have done their 360 right next to the line so theres no need for speed.

Is that Jimmy Spithill commentating?

Dai Forza ragazzi💪💪💪💪❤️🌜❤️🌜❤️🌜❤️🌜❤️🌜❤️

Multihulls, foils and speed killed match racing.

Last race that Barker sailed since then down hill

1:45 It seems strange that their sails always seem to be in a close-hauled position, even when they make substantial changes in heading?

Wow

Barker messed up twice top mark should have followed Alingi and in the penalty did not wait fo rthe line

Great racing buts it’s like those Formula 1 drivers running to their cars at the prestart lol

This is soooo much better sport than today's push button barges. *sigh*

I'd rather have these boats than what we saw today with the foil boats, there's no passing on them.

what is the vid quality? is it the 70ies?

Questa è la Coppa America,fughe tra le barche del pubblico, scontri tra barche, gara a pochi centimetri di distanza, marinai che alzano e abbassano le vele che si rompono. Imprevisto puro!Oggi quegli affari in regata stanno distanti tra di loro, i marinai stanno fermi e pedalano, il mare deve essere piatto o quasi, ma dove è l'adrenalina, è tutto uno schifo.

Never say die Team NZ

Dean Barker mmmm not taking full advantage at the start, I bit of a common story here

Slow motion sailing

Great to be able to see these races again, but the cuts in the video are a nuisance at best. Please upload these races in full length. You might not be aware of it, but this is youtube, not TV. I can fast forward myself, if I want to

only highlights

Wow. the tacking duels, the grinders, etc. just everything. Today's kevlar contraptions with a crew of 4. Zzzzzz.

Real ac matchrace

Hutchinson aboard NZ boat...

Could’ve Alinghi lost this race and still have won the cup? Since the score was 4-2… what would’ve happened if ETNZ won?

These guys announcing are obviously bias towards Team New Z.

I still feel the pain as a Kiwi. Dean Barker should have been sacked then as skipper. I'm sorry but he just was a chocker in my opinion. I could never do what he can do with a boat but he gets paid to win and for the amount of times he skippered to win ratios. Goodbye Dean

Can someone explain how this is exciting to watch?

Big mistake making the penalty too far from the finish line

barker just makes too many mistakes tactically. you can't afford basic mistakes at this level. not surprised he was dropped by etnz

.....7 - 1 👋👋

One of few cases In americas cup history that the faster boat didn't win the trophy....

how did we go from this to foling cats 😢

I'm y
