Grazie ragazzi, a la prossima volta?

Congrats TNZ, great win there!

Bravi Kiwi, deserved victory. We fight at our best but it was not enough. I congratulate to all of you (except Mrs Tina Symmans of course ). I hope you will continue to honor the legacy of the America's Cup and your competitors also in AC37, and I'm sure that all the rumours we heard about a DoG challenge is simply not true.
Orgoglioso di Luna Rossa. Potevamo quasi vincere anche con un pizzico in meno di velocità. Grazie ragazzi!

Your team has done your country proud.

Emphatic and Clinical 

Boatspeed and clear air the difference.

Winning the cup is more exciting than defending it, all I have is a great sense of relief.

Prada has nothing to apologise for, magnificent opponent and fought right to the end.... absolute quality sailing team (you can leave the legal pricks back in Sardinia please?) well done mate

 

[Rhumline]

Well done ETNZ... truly did save the best till last.

Forza Luna Rossa.  Tough, uncompromising competitors on and off the water - the qualities of a true challenger.

Wherever the next Cup happens, you must be there!

If Mr dalton does turn his back on Auckland, then your will be our champion.

Strider and all the Luna Rossa fans.  Thank you for being here.  You have lifted the tone and excitement of this forum.

All the best... now time for a large scotch!

 

[Fiji Bitter]

Congrats ETNZ !

And BTW, I've just handed over a challenge on behalf of the Royal Fiji Yacht Squadron, we are in line as #69.

Dalts kissing, embracing, and waving the flag, and seems to be limping. Has he fallen of his bike, again?

 

[alphafb552]

7-3 sounds a lot more emphatic than it really was. Remember this one guys, this was a good tussle, closest in a long time...

If AC 37 is as close as this, we’d be lucky!

 

[Forourselves]

Mission accomplished boys!!

 

[mako23]

GD Has now surpassed Peter Blake 

 

[strider470]

You can make a pile of steaming shit apetising...

If I could do that, you still would have some hope.  

 

[Monster Mash]

Can somebody explain to me how the commentators are saying that LR won the start when they were at the wrong end of the line headed in the wrong direction at the start?

 

[mako23]

The defence of the 37th America’s cup starts now

Can somebody explain to me how the commentators are saying that LR won the start when they were at the wrong end of the line headed in the wrong direction at the start?

Because they weren’t 

 

[pusslicker]

Congrats! Now we can finally get back to the real AC that takes place off the water.

 

[Forourselves]

Because they weren’t 

The right was favoured.

 

[strider470]

anyone want to give strider a call and wake him up.......... sure he'd hate to miss this

You joke but I really didn't hear the alarm clock! Luckily I woike up right before the start!!

 

[Bump-n-Grind]

Congrats ETNZ. well done! Gallant effort from LRPP. Tunred out to be much better racing than I thought it would be!

 

[jurop88]

congrats to the Kiwi, best AC of recent history. For once at least, proud to be Italian.
