100% correct. Regardless of ETNZ success on the water, if the NZ govt isn't donkey deep promoting our country in Barcelona I will post an actual photo of my wife's exceptional tits right here. Mark this post and hit me up again in 2024. Any counter offers?

I'v never sailed that end of the Med but when travelling through Barcelona and Valencia I observed a significant visible fetch on those open coasts. No islands or headlands to reduce the slop. Purely anecdotal evidence but the AC75's have only ever raced in the comparatively protected waters of...

Very good point

They are, of course, quietly stoked. This way they get to claim they did all they could but don't actually have to pony up any cash. They also get to promote NZ to a global business community in a world city while someone else pays the bills. Just wait 'till 2024, the NZ government will be...

I expect there will be quite a bit of backlash over the next few weeks and then most of the public will forget about it leaving just us sad bastards to argue over every snippet of AC news. This happens every cycle but when the actual event rears it's head in 2024 there will be plenty of kiwi...

If what we're hearing is correct, GD will have to package the venue announcement very carefully as there will be some understandable backlash from the NZ public. Perhaps an AC40 series event in Auckland?  Contrary to some of the views on these forums, NZ will come around eventually, and I'd...

First topic I've ever started here and it's a bit tenuous.  Surprisingly no comments here about Barcelona as the front runner for AC37 as per the front page. I've never sailed there but damn it's a great city. ===== "The overnight news in the Spanish press that Malaga has failed to attract...
