Artemis 72 Crash Won't Stop America's Cup... Yet...

((HT: KGO-TV))

The America's Cup is supposed to be a showcase of some of the best boatsmen in the world...

And the crash of Artemis 72 and death of Andrew Simpson is raising questions as to whether or not the sport has out-sped itself for the sake of attracting folks to the redefined catamaran racing in San Francisco Bay.

America's Cup director Stephen Barclay said he is waiting for the results of an internal inquiry before making any official race changes or adjustments. Regatta director Iain Murray is in charge of the internal investigation.

Here's team coverage...


The challenger series starts in July while the America's Cup challenge itself starts against Larry Ellison's Oracle team in August.
