FUCK gentlemen!!! I agree with Alan, sailing is an exciting sport and has to be market as a young and fun sport.

I believe sailing could be a spectator sport, because if the media made golf (the most boring shit to watch) an spectator sport any thing can be.

Clean I have to say I love the way youve been pushing the envelope with on the water reporting. But I have to say that the ways you "make it exciting" are much akin to "reality" TV by focusing on minutae and blowing it completely out of proportion. When you have dead time to fill you do so by attacking people/things that are going on instead of trying to educate people. I gotta say the couple of times I heard Katie, its painful! No matter how cool and amazing she is, her on air stuff needs work!

Reminds me of the typical "Do you know who I am?!? Do you know who I am?!? I am important!!! People respect me!!!

Speaking of hacks...

Tucker can sail, has good gear and shows good info.
