I don't think even Spielberg could make anything this exciting again, or produce this much drama. It is difficult to believe that there are still sailing and racing fans who think this is the worse thing to happen to AC racing.

Jobson has been completely reduced to half sentences and sputtered words in his excitement. If you have watched him from the beginning, you could hear his dripping derision for these boats. Now it is clear he has turned 180* and is very much enjoying his participation in this event, as well as being won over by these boats.

There was a funny moment today when the main announcer asked the rhetorical "Have you EVER seen AC racing this exciting!", and Jobson meekly said "...well, there was a race in the 1983 series that was pretty good".

Who ever wins the next race has their hands full not turning the event into a giant disappointing yawner.

I mean, just - WOW!
