America's Cup on San Francisco Bay - Summer 2013

Photos from the 34th America's Cup Races in San Francisco with the new AC72 boats. Italy's Luna Rosa team met Sweden's Artemis team in the Louis Vuitton Cup for the right to meet the other finalist challenger, New Zealand's Fly Emirates team. New Zealand went on to defeat Italy and into the America's Cup series against Oracle Team USA in a best of 17 set of races. Team USA was penalized 2 points for a rule infraction in a prior series in 2012, meaning that Team USA would need to win 11 races, while New Zealand would have to win 9 races to take the cup back to New Zealand. Team USA was on the verge of losing the cup when they were behind with New Zealand, having won 8 races to USA's 3 races, only having to win one race. Looking at what seemed an insurmountable lead by New Zealand, USA went on to win 8 straight races, keeping the cup in America. This was probably the most exciting series of races in cup history, made all the more exciting by being able to see the races from shore as these high-tech catamaran's flew across the water at speeds reaching over 50 miles per hour.
