Sail Your Boat

Engines in Sailboat Races!!!???

by dan on Jul.29, 2009, under Uncategorized

Okay, what gives here? The Americas Cup boats are testing and intend to use engines in the next defense/challenge. Engines to power winches for trimming sails and also to ship water ballast. What happened to the rules? “Boats shall be propelled only by the action of the wind on the sails”. Allright lets hear what y’all have to say about this one. I, for one, am Pi$$ed. Ya know….forget you guys. The top level of our sport just takes the entire spirit of it away. Money has ruined it all. Thank God for amateur racing.
