AC36: The Match (6-15th March. Reserve days to the 21st)

[Kiwing]

We might today on course C?

 

[Paddywackery]

forecast for a bit more breeze today so things may well change

That would be great. And some talk of Course C but not yet announced?

 

[laser 173312]

I can commiserate with sleep issue, have enjoyed the Regatta but for France time is somewhat inconvenient.

Even more so for Ireland, Jean-Baptiste and no espresso machine........

Add me to the list, and they say no one outside NZ or Italy is watching. You fucking bet we are.

You are but not many else I suggest. Sailing is hardly a popular spectator sport.

Even in NZ outside of the AC practically nobody gives a fuck about it.

Good man laser, 3 am is such an awkward time

We're sending vibes to Iain Murray.

I'm sure I heard or read that it gets more attention from Kiwis than the All Blacks. I find that very hard to believe but I would not know.

There's a bar in Antwerp, Belgium that's opening at 2am just for the cup. My mate is in there every race and he says it's packed with people.

I don't watch rugby. No one I care about does. It's a meataxe sport.

What's a bar? We Irish haven't been to one for nearly a year. I tell a lie, 3 weeks over Christmas excepting.

friend of mine in boston ph'd after  the race yesterday and said she'd watched it on commercial (whatever that is) and enjoyed it

Nice to have you back Salty. How are you calling today, weather and match?

Isn't the population of Auckland 1 boat for every 4 people?

I think during cup time itself that is probably true.

We can't even get out after 22.00, for the lockdown, and no pub open here

It’s been ‘free to air’ on NBCSN for me (Comcast cable in my case) but there is about a 20 sec delay from VPN over YT.

That seems to high to me. Aucklanders aren't that rich I reckon.

 

[nroose]

Not sure this is true any more, but in '95, when NZ won, I am pretty sure it was reported that NZ had more sailboats than cars. I guess perhaps it might have been more boats than cars. But the point is the same. Most people in NZ leave near the ocean, and it's not some obscure sport.

back in the day when we were all 50cent millionaires that'd have been close, lot different now though, getting a boat is still affordable ....... keeping/ maintaining one is a killer though,, powers that be have almost decreed that DIY shall be banished and are doing their best to make it so

I know and feel your pain
