Yacht race for the ages. After getting penalized two races before the America’s Cup even started, the American team fell behind 8-1 in a contest that only requires 9 wins. Then they tweaked their boat, replaced the tactician, and reeled off 7 straight wins to set up this afternoon’s winner-take-all final. Anybody who hasn’t seen these wild-ass catamarans flying across San Francisco Bay at 50 Mph is really missing the boat (so to speak).
