AC36 - The Venue

[Groucho Marx]

Jaysper, your second sentence makes less than zero sense. Is English your second language?

The red socks BS is a New Zealand disgrace and embarrassment. Whoever drew this silly defecation of a sculpture in the plan needs to be whipped with barbed wire.

Yeah nah..

Blake ignited NZ's original passion for AC. Without the sacrifices he made (and yes, others) we wouldn't have it today. That sculpture example shown itself is naff, but if we are trying to make a historic park of monuments to AC glory some reference to him would be non-negotiable.

Hey dude whatever lets you sleep at night.

Dalton is successful. Blake was successful and endeared himself to a nation. Big difference. Dalton needs to stop being a dick before he'll get the credit his success deserves. His post Match performance the other day was spiteful and embarrassing.

But on topic. The next Cup should be in the Bay of Islands. Why? I have a place on Flagstaff Hill with great views. I can walk to the Duke in 10 mins. Getting home takes a little bit longer. No other reason.

I thought you guys used #8 wire exclusively?

Yes I agree he is a dick who embarrassed himself the other day (check my posts which I got a pile of shit for). But he has achieved more than Blake and so rather than continue building monuments to Blake they should either do something for Dalton or preferably just honour the whole goddamn team.

I really think Dalts has earned the right to speak his mind after masterminding this win and dragging ETNZ back from the abyss despite the best efforts of so many, in the AC world and outside it, to undermine and denigrate his every move. He is absolutely entitled to his Fuck You moment in the sun. His reference to Russell was funny, nothing more to it, but I can tell you from personal experience that RC is a Grade A, self-serving cunt of the highest magnitude and he is richly deserving of Dalts scorn.

I don't recall OTUSA being overly magnanimous towards ETNZ  in SF in 2013.

You're right they were cunts. But just because they were doesn't mEan you have to stoop to their shitty level.

I'd like to think our sports people are better than a bunch of ungracious picks.  Ashby and Burling were but Dalton was not. 

 

[DayTripper]

Ffs, even I can see the red sock was put in as a joke.

 

[DevsNzL]

Come on, Spitty was saying Dalton should be fired, all the barbs thrown his way from him and coutts.  And you expect him to be cordial, to hell with that, for all the damn crap he had to put up with after 2013, I think he showed complete restraint it could have been worse.

And if it wasn't for Sir Peter Blake coughing up the entry fee for the 95 cup I seriously doubt we would be where we are today.

I suggest a Statue of both Blake and Dalts.  Or a Monument with photos of all the sailors that has been involved in winning the cup.

Never underestimate the stupidity of architects and town planners. Remember when they wanted to put an embarrassing wellywood sign near the airport here? It took them FOREVER to figure out what everyone else knew, which was that it was a cringeworthy idea.

Haha I remember that,

Perfectly clear to me, Groucho. Sir Peter owned the red socks. Sir Peter had nothing to do with this latest ETNZ's victory. 

A bronze statue of Dalts raising a finger to JS would be much more appropriate.

Ok now that I will want to see

Besides, this is much more appropriate.

Yeah didn't seem to difficult to understand from my perspective. Maybe only people who have English as a second language have trouble understanding it?

10 ways to make the most of hosting the America’s Cup




It’s not just the sailing, or the tourism, or the technology. Major sports events give cities the best chance they ever get to transform themselves – so, asks Simon Wilson, will Auckland seize the day?

I doubt very much that an architect or town planner was within a kilometre of making that decision.

Only one problem I see with this 10-step plan. Where do we get the $300 billion from?
