A thread, of short lifespan, discussing the effect of Corona Virus on the Americas Cup

Also, if Rod Davis found it hard to sail, I suspect the rest of us would too.

No. This is the leading (greatest circulation?) "news"paper in the country. I guess if GD bans you from the media tent, you've got no incentive to get facts right any more?

“Hmmm, this looks like an interesting article about the Americas Cup, by the NZ Herald, I’ll have a read.” Paragraph 6 ”F’r fuck’s sake”

This bit can’t be right! I’ve been told by very reliable sources, on these very pages, that this can’t be the case.

A thread dedicated to the planning and realisation of the venue for the 36th America's Cup.

I’m pretty sure this was a defensive manoeuvre they’d been working on in the event they raced Sir Ben.

NZ Herald?

You're implying that they have some sort of collective consciousness. In fact, they look for some sort of controversy, just for the sake of clicks. Then, once they discover they're wrong, they double down on it rather than admit incompetence.

Looks pretty slick. Nice wheelie at ~9:45

Great first post. Welcome!

Maintains a seal as the clew rises and falls. It’s beginning to feel like there won’t be many stones unturned.

She looks to be foiling at impossibly slow speeds. Incoming tide too.

It wasn’t even a case of needing to try harder, he didn’t even wear one! I mean, what do you think he thinks we tune in for?!
-
Still looks like an option.
-
Code zero up.

I think it’s telling that they’re flying both sails together, and that the CZ is clearly light weight material. I can only imagine that it’s designed for displacement sailing only, not to initiate foiling.

Very windy in AKL today. This, stolen from Joan Kirk on the ETNZ Fans Facebook page. Interesting to see no batwing main.
-
I need a cup like that.
-
I suspect they thought they had skinny foils.
-
Just in case no one has given you a straight answer yet, they are drains for the cockpit. ETNZ has the same, although with cover plates. INEOS have always had them. They may have had cover plates, now removed, making them more apparent.

Yip. Seems like a fair trade.
