    Just a thought, maybe, maybe Emirates Airline will sponsor the Challenger Selection Series in BCN next year? EMIRATES CUP? Anyone?

    ACE has not confirmed Cagliari as one of the Venues to host an ACWS Event @Fiji Bitter I'll wait on an Official Confirmation from them before I jump the ship and say Cagliari will host one. Dalton has made it pretty clear that the Cities who missed out hosting AC37 will have the first refusal...

    ARBR doesn't have their AC40, AM doesn't have their AC40, Luna Rossa & K-Challenge doesn't have it either. Which City will pony up the $$$$ in a Post-COVID World with every Economy in the Tank in Europe.

    I wonder if the Preliminary America's Cup World Series Regattas in the AC40 are going to be scrapped altogether. INEOS hasn't even gotten their AC40.

    I am with you. I don't agree with that either. I am guessing that the reasoning was that Luna Rossa was more race hardened & race sharp in Auckland bcuz they had more racing so it was time to change the Rules. I am flummoxed & flabergasted why INEOS/Royal Yacht Squadron agreed to this. It's...

    Now with 5 Challengers + Emirates Team New Zealand the Round Robin Portion of the Challenger Trails will likely be a Double Round Robin just like in Bermuda. One Challenger goes home, the other battle in the Semifinals & Finals. Remember: ETNZ is allowed to compete in the RR of the Challenger...

    If ETNZ defend I hope they stay in BCN. No reason to go back to Auckland.

    Today I stumbled accross this... https://www.theoceanrace.com/en/news/13111_The-Ocean-Race-and-Warner-Bros-Discovery-team-up That means all the Ocean Race content will almost certainly be available on Discovery Outlets & EUROSPORT. I was begging for this to happen. So folks, if AC37 wants to...

    The Entry Period to register for the Women's & Youth AC doesn't open until October 1st.

    https://sailteambcn.com Also, this probably means if Emirates Team New Zealand wins AC37 the AC will stay in Barcelona. It also means that the Spanish SailGP Team will stay in the League beyond Season 3 as a lot of the Sailors from there will likely drafted into the Sailteambcn.

    @Chobani Sailor What do you say now? Telling us that K-Challenge had filled Paperwork to challenge for AC37 before the July 31st 2022 Entry Deadline was obviously a big lie on your behalf. Whatever Sources you had, they were dead wrong! It also explains why they haven't paid anything and the...

    Mate this probably depends a lot who is in charge in NZ after 2024. I can't see Ardern trying to get the AC back to NZ but if someone else is charge why not?

    You wonder if this is the Yacht Club challenging for AC37 under the banner of the K-Challenge Team France Team. http://www.societe-nautique-saint-tropez.fr/snst/ They certainly have their Annual Regatta & 200-Member Requirement per AC37 Protocol Entry Rules.
