The 33rd edition of the America’s Cup was an unusual experience – not just because it took place in a chilly Valencia at the wrong time of the year after months of legal wrangling with just one America’s Cup boat in the harbour. I also seemed like rooting for the wrong team could get you into trouble. So let’s not mention any of the humoristic cartoons that one of the teams posted on their website – or that friendly racing was an overlooked phrase from the Deed of Gifts. The design of the boats was amazing – just as the city itself, which is where some of us spent our time when racing was delayed. Photos Camilla Alfthan
