Fantastic setting, spectacular preambles, imaginative expectations... but what happened knew as little as a three-day honeymoon...

The Young American Cup that Red Bull sponsored and had the complicity of several countries, including ours was a very fleeting thing, some of dubious profitability for those who bet on it, for the companies and institutions that invested several million euros...

I coincidenced in Vigo a few days ago with Arriola one of our young stars... how about Bermuda?... fantastic, great... but it lasted a little!... we started haggling and it was over very soon...

Our sport is very difficult to make... it will be beautiful... it will have an out of doubt plasticity... but it is usually unprofitable. The investments in this competition, created with success at the stage level, have been disproportionate for the duration of the races, also reduced to the minimum expression, due to the high speed of the flying ships.

We have attended, both the Youth Red Bull and the American Cup itself, a high-tech show, a magically beautiful show... but is this the real candle?... is it normal for the crew to know as much about sailing as I do about Esperanto?

What happened in this edition of the Copa América, and by extension to the "Young" is at least a reason for reflection... we have lived a show from another galaxy, we have attended something futuristic... but is this vea-vea?, I at least think you should open a debate and think seriously, if this is a step forward, or we are loading the high-level candle for the sake of the total show...
