Sir vs Professor, who wins?  Bring it on old bitches. I vote for the guy in the cool T shirt, not the mumbling cockwomble. Seriously, look how many people have died from exposure to lifejackets Russell. If only people had freedom to choose then I would start wearing one again. I know because I...

"having a process that encourages constant peer review, critical thinking and debate is vital."  That's called “science“ Russell you dipshit, which is where vaccines and public health comes from. Associating with shit flinging Nazis and Qanon freaks is likely to lead to him being Not CEO of...

All this money, for 30 million dollar cars and yachts, and one hot headed Brit Dutchman or other "athlete" chops the front off someone and ends a race. Then team principals bitch. Great TV bu what a waste. I don't think F1 and big name partnerships will add a lot except hype and money. Airbus...

Im sure GD has done his sums, but $100m of free public money is a shitload to turn down. I havent seen a coherent explanation if this is for a) team or b) event. Either way I think any other venue would be dumb to risk more than this. We're one mutation away from another lockdown. Surely the...

I have always thought he had an arrogant streak. He acts like a prick on board whenever things don't go his way. Slapping his grinder in Bermuda17 wile having a spaz was the ultimate in cuntiness. SGP is feeding his ego, disrespecting NO and talking himself up is pathetic. I'm afraid the adage...

Well what fucking bullshit is this. A live event with the results plastered all over the world media but no pictures, so half the audience doesn't bother watching tomorrow. Like a shart where you try and hold it all in but a big mess ensues, then upload it later to YouTube where some people just...

Too many posts to argue with. Ineos and ETNZ media releases quite different. Ineos just happy to be in the game.  I don't see how ETNZ will make money from a one off in England. No challenger has ever seriously funded a defender. No defender has ever willingly risked losing the cup on a one...

This is the relevant clause No vessel which has been defeated in a match for this Cup can be again selected by any Club as its representative until after a contest for it by some other vessel has intervened, or until after the expiration of two years from the time of such defeat. And when a...

I'm afraid to say, when the Aussies took the cup from a bunch of millionaires and their egos, we thought fuck it, we can do that too. It took a while for the right people to assemble, but now we're a bone with a DOG.  :)

I think signalling AC75s for 2 cycles, and only one boat, to get more teams. More teams is signalling to the venue more money. But its just that, signalling. We'll have to wait for an actual protocol. Fuck I can't keep up this processing after less than a week, can't I just enjoy my beer. 

Actually it's just come to me, GD is just playing with us, and getting the best sailing minds in the world right here brainstorming all the possibilities for him, for free, instead of 100 hours of boring meetings  :P

Who knows! He's managed to do it for years and has some long term backers. Still think it's a risk to do a one off challenge for cash

They might. I think Dalton would be an idiot to risk it. If they lose the RYS can do what they want, even accept another COR and bye bye Auckland with 250m of infrastructure left rotting. 

I think it's a massive risk for both sides to have a DOG or a multi challenger match and trust the other side to just carry on all chummy for another unenforcible go-around in AC75's.  The nationality rule sure as hell locks everyone's staff in.(good) Feel sorry for many professional sailors...

Like F1 drivers just sit there and push buttons? FFS go and watch American Football

693 m 1000m to go. Put your earplugs in Auckland. 

512 m. 4 km to go

Quote of the day on the Italian boat, for sensitive international ears "scheißen" 

Having watched the ETNZ stern cam, I am pretty speechless. From the 50kt entry in 13 knots, to the sheer intensity and teamwork to just get around the course is astonishing. The commentary is superfluous. And PB does half of it blind relying on some shitty cameras and the leeward crews calls...

I am impressed by the TV coverage both on and off the water on the world feed. TVNZ, not so much.
