I hope you will continue to honor the legacy of the America's Cup and your competitors also in AC37, and I'm sure that all the rumours we heard about a DoG challenge is simply not true.

Tough, uncompromising competitors on and off the water - the qualities of a true challenger. Wherever the next Cup happens, you must be there! If Mr dalton does turn his back on Auckland, then your will be our champion. Strider and all the Luna Rossa fans. Thank you for being here. You have lifted the tone and excitement of this forum.
