[Enzedel92]

PUSHED BACK AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[demoman]

So basically not a sports fan. No idea

I'd say the one's whining about long established rules have no idea. Again, best of luck! You are ahead, cheer up!

4 miles utside the Golden gate wind is coming from the SSW at 7 knots. 5 miles further out only 5 knots. Inside it 10 but SW. My guess is no race.

 

[Forourselves]

Auckland?

Based on record - no. Kiwi's will keep whining until they win, reasons don't matter.

Wellington

the latest..

@SontaranPR: In further #AmericasCup news, both teams have demanded that for every race called off the officials have to remove a layer of clothing.

"The committee would like to see a direction of 230 degrees across the racecourse. As regatta director Iain Murray intimated this morning, this is far too important a race to have a skewed racecourse."

Tells it all...

So at 225 we don't have a race...

 

[Tornado_ALIVE]

Jesus! They have wind! Sail in it! Better sailors get the better shifts!!

You want a 3 leg reaching race? Seriously? Can you imagine the shitfight that would happen if they did that?

Some of these posters are obviously not racing sailors...

Have ever sailed a long distance or ocean race ?

This is not a long distance or ocean race. I is around the bouys. I would be pissed if I was forced to race a race around the bouys that is just reaching back and forth.

 

[sparkiwi]

can't see a race start today

That pretty much sums up IM's integrity. Despite what some are saying he has done a top job. Yes he tried to change the class rules outside of the rules and got his fingers smacked but he is a straight up guy on a hiding to nothing on everything he does.

 

[Forourselves]

Fuck yeah!! The Americas Cup will have a change of ownership after all!!

 

[Cement_Shoes]

Did we ever figure out what happens when the Coast Guard Permit Expires tomorrow and we dont have a winner?

I thought someone had backup CG permits

Oracle retains the cup.

 

[billy backstay]

Yes, Murray is a top bloke with a thankless task, fer sure!!

You keep asking and nobody answers.

shrug.
