Sailors know, but for [-]the few[/-] anyone with a casual interest/curiousity re: sail racing, the best sailors in the world will be racing almost every day between now and the end of June in Bermuda. Where races used to take hours, typically a race takes about 20 minutes now. And instead of old guys in blue blazers, today's premier racing sailors have to be in peak physical condition, more so than many sports.
They are on NBCSN at noon CST almost every day over the next week. And they'll be on NBCSN or NBC over the next month.
Yesterday they had light winds, about 10-12 mph and the sail boats (now foiling catamarans) were mostly going 30-45 mph - 3 to 4 times wind speed! You might be surprised at how leading edge sailing has changed. FWIW
