Or America's Cup Paint drying. Whilst the boats travel fairly quickly, why do the commentators still insist on calling it like a horse race? They're fast but not that fast.

They kinda are that fast though, race horse will run at 60-70kph, the AC75 Americas cup boats can do up to 50kn which is 93km/hr! That's insane speed for a 75ft long boat!

It's all carbon fibre, even the sails. These days, you don't need to be a good sailor, just be a very good cyclist.
