Why? They have a larger budget than they tried to get had they stayed home, they chose to accept the location, all Seems they got exactly what they wanted doesn’t it? 
 

stop building in excuses;-) 
Oh so there's no such thing as home advantage now? ...flip flop.

Shoe's on the other foot now;-)

To be perfectly honest with you I personally have a massive problem with Tom Slingsby driving an AC75. As illustrated in SailGP Slingsby is someone who very much thrives on adrenaline. That is dangerous when driving a Monster like the AC75 are and could lead to the same catastrophic capsize American Magic had in Auckland.

You need to become more measured when driving these Boats! As a Driver you bear huge responsibility for safety of your crew.
if that was the criteria then Jimmy and BAinslie wouldn't be allowed to drive an AC75.

if anything, here would be a good submission for the job. TomS had a split second to avoid GBR by going up or bearing down and nailed it.

7 SailGP boats all over the course is a lot more dangerous than an AC75 that is in a match race.  BUT I have never sailed on and AC75 or a SailGP boat.  I did stay in a Holiday Inn once.

Slingsby is an Adrenaline Junkie and not a Sailboat Racer. He even admitted that in the Final Episode of SailGP's Season 2 "Racing on the Edge".

Well thank you for showing the depth of your knowledge so succinctly here, it is unfortunately not in line with his comments on receiving this award received recently, which makes you look a little bit silly:

Tom Slingsby said, "This is a huge honour for me. Thank you to everyone who voted. I remember when I was 15 years old, I wrote down my career goals and it was to win the Olympic Gold medal, win the America's Cup and win World Sailor of the Year. I am very fortunate, this is the second time I have won the World Sailor of the Year award. I am so lucky to be in the position I am and to get these amazing opportunities. Congratulations to all the other guys, there were some unbelievable sailors nominated this year."

You sound scared that your boy Ainslie is going to have to match up against Slingsby....
Ainslie has bigger things to worry on. I make a bold bet that he won't be driving the British AC Boat in 2024. He is too much "Crash Ben" these Days nowadays AND he is too old!

I hate it when I accidently read your delusional garbage.

Go find Ben in the boat park and call him old to his face. The dude (and anyone on the sailing teams) is a pro athlete- he would wipe the pavement with your stupid face.

DG and 4 seem to be having a match race if their own to find out who gets the least respect here. I think DG is winning because there’s enough kiwi savants that they will bow down to Dalton no matter what he does.

You do not in any way, shape, or form contribute anything useful to this forum. Your words are wasted 1s and 0s on the cloud storage devices that hold the SA forum. If they needed to reduce the data footprint for storage reasons, they could safely remove every post you've ever made and it would not make a difference to the content of this forum one bit.

The haters like you, are the ones that contribute nothing. No facts, no reality, no nothing. Just dumbass opinions based on nothing but their own made up tin foil hat conspiracy theories. 

Learn to live in the real world, not your fake little Alice in Wonderland I hate Dalts world.

Have some damn respect for a man who has achieved what few others in this world have, not only in his own sailing career, but also led a team from the brink of closing its doors to the being one of, if not the most dominant teams in AC history.

The fact you can't do that says more about you, than it does me.

Lol. I bet if you searched this forum for posts that include the word 'hater' then 4 would dominate the results :D  Sure, delete 'em all, who the F cares since they are invisible to so many of us anyway
