Ive set my PVR/DVR to record the show Mainsail on CNN International. Somehow the channel showed up on my cable a while back and I never gave it much thought. I've been watching the show for a few years. It is hosted by a former Olympic sailor.
I checked CNN's website and found a series of article at: http://www.cnn.com/CNNI/Programs/main.sail/archive/index.html
I didn't find any shows however.
I like the current coverage of the runup to the next Americas Cup racing. The get into the background and experiences of the athletes. This includes the veterans like Russell Couts and the newbies from the 2012 Olympics class.
They feature the training and trials, and of course, the oopses, like the capsize of the Oracle catamaran in San Fran bay.
I like the fact that I'm getting the background stories so when we get to the actual races I'll know part of the "why", not just the "what".
Do any of you watch the show? Your thoughts?

Thanks for the tip. I just bought a HD Homerun (Cablecard version) so I can record cable channels without renting Verizon's awful DVR. I've set my Win7 computer to record the series.
