    Alinghi Challenge AC37

    Even if the team that had represented NZ wins, they will just shop it for money with absolutely no regards for the fans in NZ. Unfortunately, New Zealand’s direct involvement in the AC has been sold and it will be a very long time before the country has the stomach to support/trust another...

    Alinghi Challenge AC37

    I almost feel sorry for these guys. They are going through the growing pains of sailing this new class boat on one of the most unstable versions ever built. You can tell it is very squirrely, it was for ABNZ at times and they designed and practiced on simulators for it. Alinghi has very...

    It is just a new path for the crew to swap sides.
