It's January, so the Moth class has completed their 2015 World's Cup Championship races "down-under". With 150 entrants, they were greeted by perfect sailing conditions—sunny, windy—up to 25 knots—and what they call—"calm seas".

With teams already at work in Bermuda it's time to start getting excited about the 2017 Americas Cup. Here's a great video a friend sent to me.

I'm also looking forward to watching the races. It's amazing to see the foils in action; hard to believe how the sport has evolved so quickly. As much as I enjoy the action, there's still something beautiful in watching a 12 meter cut through the water with the lee rail buried!
