[Forourselves]

Thass wha Larry said in 2010 and 2013

And then he lost.

 

[JALhazmat]

Winning is winning. 

Didn’t seem to be the mantra used by pistol et all in their most recent gig..

Sure it was!

You're definitely winning when the guy you took the Americas Cup off is now paying your hefty salary!

Took the Americas Cup

Took Larry's money, Gonna take a Gold medal home, gonna take some more of Larry's money.

Winning!

 

[JALhazmat]

getting paid to loose... 

 

[NeedAClew]

Apparently they will take any money.  Good to know.

 

[NeedAClew]

And then he lost.

Yeah but NZ were losers for 2013-2017. He was a winner 2010-2017. 

 

[pusslicker]

And then he lost.

But not before humiliating you kiwi fucks.

 

[Forourselves]

But not before humiliating you kiwi fucks.

And then getting humiliated himself.

 

[NeedAClew]

He couldn't get it in 2013 because Larry had a strict quota of one real Amurrican on the boat at any time. Go OTAUS!

Container gossip is that Botin has been signed up for Alinghi....

 

[Chobani Sailor]

Container gossip is that Botin has been signed up for Alinghi....

Correct.  Not really new news.  With Arrivabene running the Alinghi team, he is pulling a lot of the europeans that he worked with at AM during AC36 over to Alinghi.

Container gossip is that Botin has been signed up for Alinghi....

Botin's designed a boat that could only perform in the upper wind range.  Patriot was garbage in mid to low wind.

Source? Excellent news, Silvio (not Maurizio, former Ferrari manager) Arrivabene is very capable and personable. Met him in Venice, and he was wittily recounting the drama of A5’s helicopter lift across the Alps. Stands to reason that EB re-hired him

 

[JonRowe]

Will we see THutch lead an Alinghi Magic team?  :lol: :lol:

 

[Chobani Sailor]

Will we see THutch lead an Alinghi Magic team?  :lol: :lol:

 The Alinghi Magic team could be all of AM except TH.  NYYC dumped him, lead designers dumped him...... 

 

[JALhazmat]

Designers are constantly learning too, are they not? Granted, some faster than others.

Come now, don't hold back...

I don't think that was Botin's fault. The sail and rig designers failed to produce a "power plant" that could work in the lower ranges. That was ETNZ's big plus, that they could get the boat with the smallest foils to still work in the light stuff.
