[CQ-Contest] America's cup Sailboat racing not what it used to be

[Tom Osborne]

Those aren't sailboats any more.  More like some morphodite, hydrofoil,
water craft that race each other.   Pretty soon they won't even need anyone
on board - just let the computers, hydraulics, and GPS do the driving -
like Uber.

What did they gain by the new type of racing craft - just being able to
finish a little faster?  73
