Port touts San Diego Bay as perfect venue

SAN DIEGO (AP) — The Port of San Diego is making a final push to land the America's Cup, including releasing a splashy video touting the bay as a perfect venue for so-called stadium sailing. The video, posted online Wednesday, says organizers can count on a breeze of more than 8 knots on San Diego Bay 93 percent of the time to ensure a reliable TV schedule. [...] America's Cup boss Russell Coutts pulled the regatta from San Francisco, unhappy that the city was unwilling to give cup organizers the same terms as last time, which included free use of piers and city services. [...] the next-generation America's Cup catamarans are expected to rise up on hydrofoils and skim above the waves in single-digit wind speeds.
