“It’s quite astonishing at how good they are at what they do. It was an honor to be out and race amongst them. It is not often we see this caliber of sailing on San Francisco Bay.” --Larry Ellison, at the Allianz Cup post-race press conference Friday evening.

"Full marks for the gang from Sail.tv. Live streaming broadcast from the Allianz Cup on the internet, FREE, all day Friday, Saturday and Sunday as part of their 24 hour sailing network. Shot with multiple cameras, it was tied to the audio commentary by Tom Ehman, Gary Jobson and others. For someone who's dabbled a bit in Premiere and Final Cut Pro it was humbling to see the rather jaw-dropping technology and editing prowess on display. I was fortunate enough to share an office with the boys, mostly so I could tag onto their bandwidth. On demand broadband channels are the future, blurring the line between the internet and television. 'Convergence' at last. They're clearly onto something here." --David McCreary, editor of Scuttlebutt Europe, and webmaster this week for the Allianz Cup website.
