Did Ainslie come in when the yanks were eight - one down? If so...................Ainslie for next American president. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there are a lot of factors involved in this but I think Ainslie was a major factor. People who have no interest in boats were drawn into this because of the comeback and his involvement.
