America's cup revisited

I think I have to change my mind  about the America's Cup.  With Oracle becoming more and more competitive the races are so exciting.  I don't think I have any fingernails left after this  10th race today. We finally won but Oracle won the first race of the day.  The score is still 7 to 1 but Oracle will be winning a few from now on if they stay so competitive. The racing is close and aggressive and can change lead at a drop of a hat.
I do still hope that if we win it we go back to a smaller cheaper boat like the 45's so that it becomes less of a money takes all and more countries can afford to take part.  But these 72's are amazing boats capable of heart stopping moments like when New Zealand almost capsized yesterday. My heart was in my mouth.
