Barcelona AC37

Yah , that is my understanding 

many commenters on this thread don’t realize that Spain , and  Europe are complex societies built up over thousands of years 

Spain is complex .  The Basques , Catalans , Galicia , Madrid .. they are all distinct cultures , languages , with strong identities 

With  the Catalan issue the Catalans separatists got carried away with there own rhetoric and the central government was uncompromising in its response 
People can be herded  into whatever is needed. It's a matter of time

I guess flying all those teams and boats all round the world is some of the environmentally green parts of the event.

Maybe this is what the hydrogen boats are for, transport between venues...
This is just big, big nonsense from you! The AC40 is only crewed by 5 People and can be from what I've read similar packed up and then flown around the Globe like the F50 Sail GP is using.

Because they were destroying the city.

And I didn't start this conversation.
Yah 

politics gets sucked into everything 

On the boat 

no politics , no religion 

I remrmber one transatlantic , had an obnoxious politicized Australian As crew who just wouldn’t let up 

by the half way mark one watch was not talking to the other watch 

I remember bad trips for a long time

No idea, but a lot I guess.

Logistics, designers, builders, coaches, technicians, sailors, financial team, legal team, PR, press...

Of course, not all of them travel, but still..
Again 

local youth sailors should be added to all teams to avoid staff transport and spread new skills

In Spain we have a joke: 

What word describes the most beautiful thing in life:"MOTHER"

And the worst thing in life? "MOTHER IN LAW" (in-laws in Spanish are called "familia política")

Just to pick on @Rennmausa bit we have a near FULL HOUSE at the Monte-Carlo Country Club where Novak Djokovic is currently playing right now. Look at that enthusiastic Crowd


This is what we want to see, Professional Sport without any Clown Car Restrictions. For over two years people needed to sit in their Basement & Bunkers.

No, what's important is that People can watch their Sport again without any Restrictions. Bayern Munich had 75,000 People in the Stadium against my favoured Club FC Augsburg last Saturday. They will probably have that same amount again tonight in the Champions League against Villareal from Spain.

It's time to get rid of those Restrictions - Period!

I guess every single Tennis Player are an entitled prick from your Point of View.

And no, I am not a Djokovic Fan. My favoured Player is Federer!

But that isn't the Point I was making. The Point is: Get rid of those Masks, get rid of those mandated Vaccinations and get rid of those Restrictions.

By the way thanks @Sailbydatefor sharing that article from Paul Lewis of the NZ Herald. It does put Mark Dunphy, Jim Farmer and to lesser extend Hamish Ross in a very different spotlight. They had no money and their posturing about the Venue was just theatre and a huge distraction to the whole process.

Please do not wear a mask and go into small enclosed spaces with a lot of unmasked people.
