I appreciate that Patricio Bertelli is very wealthy but somehow, he doesn't seem to behave like a spoilt brat

Puff piece mate. Nothing substantial there.

Yes, and it couldn't be otherwise, with the current situation of total uncertainty. Only thing worth a read is that there is interest even after LR lost.

Was kinda hoping to read EB saying we're in! There really is a good opportunity for either EB or LE to go, oh really, you fucked that option previously so let's do that again....

The article was before the new nationality rule was announced. Not so sure Alinghi will still be interested now.

A very strict nationality rule was expected in case of ETNZ victory. The Kiwis never made it a secret. So I think the interest could be real despite it.

Could the Swiss put a crew together?

I don't think they were expected to be THAT strict Strider.

However, for me the real killer would have been if the design team had nationality rules applied and so yeah. Wankarelli might still be in.

Might have put ETNZ out as well. ^_^

No, definitely not. That team has been resident in NZ for a long time now.

Which surprises me that they didn't do it. Everything else they've done is self serving.

Fair enough.

You're correct, he has been consistent on nationality rules, reducing costs but less so, if ever, on defending abroad.
