Un velier britanic critică évoluția extremă a competițiilor maritime de elită, susținând că evenimentele olimpice, Cupa Americii și SailGP au devenit atât de îndepărtate de realitatea navigației obișnuite, încât nu mai reprezintă sport adevărat. El lamentează că aceste competiții, controlate de computere și tehnologie avansată, au pierdut sensul și relevanța pentru navigatorii obișnuiți.

The sport has been doing a lot of evolving, and as elite events seek to build a viewership, sailing is looking a lot less like what most sailors do. Or did.
From the immortal refrain yelled by anchorman Howard Beale in the 1976 film Network, “I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take this any more”, this rant comes from David Evans in the United Kingdom:
No one is remotely interested in Sailing at the Olympics or America's Cup or SailGP, Even the Vendee Globe has lost most of its meaning with radio-controlled, computer-driven things (can’t dignify them as yachts).
I could not name one competitor in any of the Olympics sailing events since the 1988 Games in Korea. As for the America's Cup and the rest, it’s just silly stuff and not sport in any way. - Full report
