Or they just don’t care anymore? (Not a sarcastic question). If I were a Kiwi I’d be upset by GD moves. We’re not talking about LE or EB that never asked the Government to back them with public money. We’re talking about a team that’s the national team, partly “owned” by the people, always...
Really? But PB and BT are CEOs of the NZ Sail GP team. If they can't chose the crew what can they decide? Sponsorships?
Anyway, even if they weren't in such good terms, I think this could be a great move by EB.
Well, Burling and Tuke haven't signed for ETNZ yet.
Sure, they can't be on board Alinghi due to the nationality rules, but there's nothing to stop EB hiring them as "consultants". First, he would take them away from ETNZ, weakening the Defender. Secondly, they could massively help the team also...

EB about Alinghi challenge for the 37AC :
“We hope they'll let us know the place and the Rule of the next edition because it will be an interesting challenge. Speeds...

EB has a swiss sailing team, so that would be no problem for him.
Yes, his sailing team has been Swiss for some years now. And he already has a design team, the creators of the TF35 class. People with long AC experience.

(edited, I added bold for questions)
Double winner of the America's Cup, Ernesto Bertarelli expresses himself little on a competition which he engraved in the heart despite his setbacks of 2009. His word is golden on the subject and it is in the columns of the “Matin...
