This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

These are amazing looking by closesttodome

My wedding/honeymoon luckily coincided with the races in the SF bay 8 years ago. Totally unplanned for, but it was a fun backdrop for the couple days we spent farting around in SF. We actually went on an Alcatraz/Bay boat tour while one of the races was taking place which was just awesome.

I'd really like to see one of the future champions change the rules in the future to run the races with full on old school clipper ships.

I'd also love to see an all AI/Drone race version. Mostly just to see how far we could push technology that would hopefully be able to replace some of the world's container ships
