My guess is that this is two AC40 teams and Dalton isn’t put up a peso. 
Yes, sounds like they will field WAC and YAC teams. Interesting that they will have two AC40s, the delivery sequence is a touch curious too. The 'who is paying for it' is confusing, yes. Part of the venue deal, maybe?

One article from Spain suggested the WAC and YAC events will be in August, which would be a quite long period before the 'real' action.

Either that or Dalts is farming out the TNZ WAC and YAC teams to Spain like they did with the venue? :p
That idea occurred to me too, funny. From this translation, itals mine

The ships will also be funded by Grant Dalton. "He is very interested in Spain having these two teams competing because he needs our country to relate to him as a home team, since if New Zealand were to defend the title positively, it is very likely that Barcelona would host the next edition" .

^ In one of the GD clips he mentions how Alinghi will be the first to set up operations in Barcelona and how ETNZ's B1 (still in NZ at the time of the recording) now has a destination.

Sounds like some updates from a long feature, thanks for giving us the highlights. Speculation would be that Bq1 is off to france, makes you wonder what LRPP B1 (and B2) is up to 

Anymore "news", Twatray?

Seriously, are you ok?
Calling someone names, for the sake of..."namecalling"?

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make  here, but it is getting tired.

Easy numnuts, the point is that i'm getting tired of Spinray's endless cocksure postings, like he is the ringmaster of all matters AC. That post was just silly, and you didn't get it, BTW.

LRPP shipped both their boats back to Cagliari soon after the Cup, in case you missed it.

In other parts of the video folks talk about the importance they place on the YAC and the WAC, as well as the green hydro boats. Big selling points, apparently.

So your personal frustration is that someone on the internet is pretending to be wise and clever?

Moaning about everything he posts says more about you than what he's saying. I'm here for the people who add value to the discussion, I'm sure you could be in that equation of you spent less energy following his every post and trying to say something mean about it.

Or maybe I have this totally wrong

He should just drop the Fiji part from his name. It would become an honest descriptor of his personality then.

The Bottom Line: Stingray isn't clever at all and he is certainly not the Ringmaster here. His entire postings are about conspiracy theories + what Tom Ehman is telling him to do!
Oh Bull fucking shit. The vast majority of what stingray posts are just links to articles that most of us otherwise would not see. He’s pretty damn good at putting pieces together. Have you ever interpolated the design of a boat starting with a plastic chair? 
 

You on the other hand are a SailingFRAUD!!!!!

I guess you quickly forget how he railed against the Barcelona Bid say Europeans ain't interested in the AC, Auckland being the only viable Venue, etc.

And he posted endless conspiracy theories ranting & railing against Grant Dalton for no reason at all.

Stingray is the fraud here.

One final topic: His endless Corona Woke Posting. Maybe you both should sleep with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in bed.

So he got Barcelona wrong, you get things wrong every time you post something.

As for railing against Dalton for no reason. Good on him and there is every reason to do so.

As for sleeping with AOC, you should try a female at least once, even if you will need to pay handsomely for doing so. Much better than your hand for comfort, might even change your outlook on life.

He lives in a State that IMO shouldn't be part of the United States of America. Washington, Oregon & California should secede from the US. Woke Policies after Woke Policies.

Our little child dgs can post all the silly crap he wants. I will respond to this quoted one though..

I followed the venue bids more closely than anyone and yes, was surprised when Barcelona came through at the last minute. Because Cork and Malaga were unable to do '24 and because Jeddah would have caused probably 2 teams to drop out, yes Auckland was the only fallback until that last minute. It was a big story for months including in mainstream media.

Am disappointed for the history and for the Aucklanders who so obviously wanted their Cup Defended on their home waters. But Barcelona does have some good attributes.

A friend here with me at the moment is saying we should go hit up Barcelona and Mallorca and Sardinia here soon, just for the f of it, given the excuse fun. The Med is cool enough, classy too.
