Other than in NZ the rest of the world usually thinks of them as Emirates already . Look at Grant's shirt for confirmation .

Just watched the highlights of the event on SF bay . The AC is going to have to really work to come up with racing as exciting as this event but with so few boats its going to be quite a chore. And to think that one of our most prolific posters here GURANTEED  that the sail GP would never hit...

Not very original are they? The  Kennedy family must be rolling their eyes at this one . 

Understood . Sort of like the 20 min sprint races dumbed down for the new masses that never really showed up for what used to be the “ pinnacle of sailing “ the America Cup :) 

The second rate side show that you absolutely guaranteed would never see the light of day is not only there but offering some of the largest cash prices in Sailing History .   https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/08/sports/sailing/sailgp-catamaran.html#:~:text=the main story-,SailGP Teams%2C Back at...

The fact that he guarantees that there will be an AC37 is cause for concern . He Is the same guy that was 100% positive that Sail GP would never see the light of day and what season are they in now ? 

Look whos back . https://www.nzherald.co.nz/.../Z5UL3E2G4HET2H5CALJV4STCJM/

As a couple of earlier posters predicted .  https://www.nzherald.co.nz/.../Z5UL3E2G4HET2H5CALJV4STCJM/

And this is exactly why so many actual sailors have lost all interest in the AC . The days of being able to walk into any yacht club and strike up a conversation about anything AC related , with rare exception , are over . Being a able to watch a pro do your job wether it be the bow , pit etc...

And yet they still have a series , one that you guaranteed would never get started , and you are still whining about it 3 years later . Priceless .

Its nice to be recognized :)    They must have got the word from others than just me , you know they didn't have time to read this drivel tonight .  In other news . SailGP, you know the series that you guaranteed would never see the lite of day is starting its SECOND season . Go figure :)

I said the exact same thing after the first two . Tune in 3 min before the start, watch two min after then go grab a bite to eat, come back in 45 min and repeat .  There is more passing in F1 LOL 

So this could be a very convenient AC. Tune in at the three min mark watch the start , watch two more min , find something else to do for 45 min and then come back and repeat. Hell even the commentators agree with me , how many times are they going to talk about the non existent passing ? 

What will the odds be on a boat that doesn't start first actually losing  race . So far first one over is winning 5 to 0 .

I'm going to take a wild guess that you are not a grinder . Pairs are stronger than solo as when you are on your power stroke ( over hand ) your opposing partner is in the weaker position ( underhand ) and you balance the power output.. As for power differences between the grinders those balance...

someone said 10 miles 

Does the name Ernesto Bertarelli ring any bells ? 

Now you know why they gave so much attention to the bottom graphics . 

Here you go :)  

The America’s Cup , keeping lawyers employed for over a century and counting :)
