Is there a more pointless, elitist sport than sailing? boats

americas cup is only one sailing competition. There are plenty other championships which use one-design skiffs, some of which you can even buy yourself for less than the price of a smartphone.

Depends on the format, for instance in the volvo ocean race all the boats are the same to make it a fair race.

Good for them. Popularity attracts the dumbest of people. Look at the average sports fan.

Americas cup doesn't have much to do with sailing any longer though. It's more like an air race.

It is sailing, it's just a more technologically advanced form of sailing

>>77163088
why don't they get even more advanced and use a motor

>>77163236
Because then it wouldn't be sailing, it would be powerboating

>>77163236
These cats didn't need one. The chase boats needed two or three outboard motors to keep up

Is there a more plebian, poorfag thread than this one?

if it's a sailing competition, being the better sailor is the only quality that should get you over the line first.

at least powerboating is faggy

I don't watch this but I'm incredibly scared of the sea so I respect it

You are not afraid of the sea, you are afraid of water.
