Well, Catalonia is separatist in sentiment and paying for Spanish flagged boats is probably an issue. And Spain paying to bail out Barcelona is probably one too.
He does make some points and so there could be a grain of truth to what sound otherwise like rumors, like about the AC40 Spain team.

Puig, a Barcelona-based, global leader in the beauty and fashion industry, is delighted to announce its partnership with the 37th America’s Cup as both a Global Partner and the official naming partner of the inaugural Women’s America’s Cup. This groundbreaking initiative aims to provide female sailors with a platform to showcase their skills and talent in the high-performance foiling AC40s and provide a skills pathway to the America’s Cup itself. By supporting the inaugural Puig Women's America’s Cup, Puig demonstrates its dedication to promoting inclusivity, gender equality, and diversity within the sport of sailing.
 
With the announcement of Puig and Estrella, they seem to be having no problem getting sponsors onboard. Who's next?

Imagine if Louis Vuitton come back to play. that would be awesome.
Yep, someone here listed puig & Estrella as possible sponsors a year ago (can't find the post)
Louis Vuitton might sponsor a competing team - one with a shot of beating Etnz ☺️

I turned out to not be the best investigative reporter, my wife wasn’t willing to walk around to get closer to the other bases and my feet were killing me so I didn’t put up much of a fight.

Well, I only got a few shots of the INEOS UK base.

Is this Palma or Barcelona?
It's clearly Barcelona, I have checked out vids of all that scenery and recognize a bunch of it.

Am curious especially about the AM base, from the map I am remembering they looked a little space constrained.

The mayor of Barcelona Adau (?) got voted out on Sunday but I doubt it will change much AC-wise, she was a leftist who was not particularly inclined to sign onto the deal but got defeated by a rightist.

Well done, nice prison....
And the winner for most obvious, ergh that building looks shit, of course it does they don’t know anything about the America’s Cup they are British, it’s an F1 team. What do you expect how shit is the boat going to be if that’s the best they can do with their building etc

cheer up, at least INEOS haven’t designed one design race boat slower than a boat that’s not meant for racing 😂
