It was two years ago in May. I was teaching an instructional passage, and we were in Bermuda waiting for weather to allow us to continue north to Newport. Of course, we knew that the Americaโs Cup was happening. Still, the absolute mind-boggling spectacle of seeing those boatsโฆ..doing that! As we entered the outer bay near Hamilton, there, right in front of us, was Oracle, sitting in the water, getting coached up by her chase boats. Now not more than 40-50 yards away, the crew trimmed in the wing sail. The boat lurched a little, started movingโฆ.then bam! Like the Starship Enterprise in the Star Trek movies, it popped up, onto itsโ foils, and was off at nearly 40 knots. Warp speed Scotty!
