Why I chose Sailing Americas Cup?

• I chose Sailing Americas Cup because I have
  been sailing all my life, but I have never known
  much about other sailing events that happen
  around the world.
• Americas Cup will have a ton of information to
  research on and it will be a very interesting and
  exciting topic.
