Well what looked like a good race and then looked like a one horse race then a effort by etnz to turn there's into submarine. 
The way they popped up was impressive and shows that they have a good design package.

I think the only way they could make it less relevant to sailing is to fit some wheels and race up an down the SF dockfront

or that might make it more exciting!

Apparently they really need to be seen in the flesh to get the full effect.  Which isn't going to happen for me...

Oh I'm sure the kit is even worse live. It's pretty terrible on video. I guess it goes with the prada money...

I was referring to the boats, rather than the silver shrink wrap clothing...

I'm surprised that a "fashion" brand has produced such a uniform.

I think the team song is Y.M.C.A. by Village People.

The onboard shot during race 5 looked superimposed on Luna Rossa. Good sailing to watch.
