I remember a Windjammers lecture that featured some footage of the Louis 
Vuitton cup followed by some-small-boat-or-other junior nationals.  The 
small boat film was incredibly exciting to watch, even not knowing any 
of the participants.  ESPN and OLN might find that they get more sailing 
viewers, at less cost, if they were to televise such things.
