Alinghi Challenge AC37

[Stingray~]

Checco Bruni: frankly, it’s taking them too long to announce the venue

All: it’s hard to visualize an AC not in the country of the defender

Torben Grael: the key factor in ETNZ’s victory were the small foils, that worked nevertheless. ETNZ was more willing to take risks

Tommaso Chieffi: ETNZ being financially constrained meant that they placed a lot of effort on AI/simulator

Great - Thanks for the summary. 

Anything specific by EB, or is that from earlier?

Francesco Bruni & Torben Grael are two jerks! They better learn to speak English properly first without an Italian or Brazilian Akcent before they comment on anything

Yeah, the existing AC75 is "Te Aihe", the former Boat 1 of Emirates Team New Zealand.

Couldn't give a toss about hosting it. It's a successful Defence which is the winning prize.

Correct.  But you couldn’t have gotten a better scenario for the Challengers, especially Alinghi, being only an 1.5 hours away by plane.

 

[Forourselves]

I guess we’re not gonna hear the “Team NZ has a huge advantage” tagline now, since Team NZ are arguably in the worst position of all teams now.
