Last Sunday I had the chance to sail in Illusions, which are miniature versions of the 12 meter class boats used in the 50s'-70's for the America's cup.
Here's a link to some photos taken by Jim P.
They were a lot of fun to sail, but tricky. The rudder is controled by peddles and it is very sensitive. I found myself pushing the wrong pedal often and didn't sail very fast. At least I didn't sink. I was eliminated from the semi-finals, as usual, but it was fun nonetheless.
