Fisher's View: Super Sunday - America's Cup WS - Race Day 4 By Bob Fisher, Naples, Italy , 6:30 AM Mon 22 Apr 2013
Race Day 4 America's Cup World Series, Naples: 'Super Sunday' – the very term is destined to be inspirational, but it can also induce fear to a team that has dutifully logged a series of good results to appear at or near the top of the scoreboard. The reason is the heavily skewed points available for the one race on the final day. ...[more]

Fisher's View: Wished for a Lay Day - America's Cup WS, Naples - Day 2 By Bob Fisher, San Francisco, USA , 7:04 AM Thu 18 Apr 2013

Day 1 America's Cup World Series, Naples: Today’s media 'conference', for want of a better word, was a shining example of a gift horse in need. It was held in a building with bare walls and more echoes than enough – and the behavior of the 'media' not actually involved was appalling – they talked loudly and the photographers were among the worst. Interviewing a skipper was a painful operation. ...[more]

Day 4 MR Semis/Finals and Fleet racing: The burble of 'will they - won't they' continues around Little Marina Green in San Francisco.

Day 3 MR Semis and Fleetracing: Much of the talk around the bases has been not so much of the AC-45s as of the 'real' America's Cup boats, the AC-72s.
