Luna Rossa Challenge. AC 36

[Rennmaus]

We have a real deal Italian wood fired pizza joint (with actual Italians) here in Wellington.

Tastes fucking amazing.

Sooner or later I'll come to NZ but I'll love to try local traditional food! Maybe we could try that pizzeria just to have a comparison 

Next AC? Count me in (sorry strider470).

Nah, I don't think Mr Bertelli is going to shop the venue as GD is apparently willing to do

So that's why they lost the last one.

TV replay coverage commentary in US said LRPP was right in wanting rules followed to race, though ETNZ and Ineos "had their reasons." 

Sadly, I think Rita is a tad slower. So when LRPP wins, they are ones with best chance to beat ETNZ and race in home waters. Not in the UAE.

Everyone has the "ACE" they deserve, we have Jimmy!

Few things are certain in life - and this is one of them

Since 2007.

And focusing only on sailing is sharper than ever!

TH from AM was on Kiwi TV and said the same, rules are rules and should be followed. It seems they have their hotels booked until March and so they are staying until the end of the AC.

The NZ Herald has proved to be unbiased and a very good source of information. I really like the insights from Mark Orams and the general AC coverage.

Sarcasm font?

Sarcasm font?

No, I really meant it. In some recent articles they were also very honest defending Luna Rossa.

How long has Te Rehutai been in the water and they have just noticed the mainsail foot extension...duh.

Also for the entirety of this AC they haven't missed a trick to stick the knife in the Kiwis wouldn't wrap my fush n chups in that tattle rag.

At least they do acknowledge that they got the whole story from Mozzy.

I didn't get that far, I'd already seen the Youtube explanation.

I thought in match racing the starboard tack boat had no responsibility to hold course.  Dial downs and so forth.

Or is it different down wind?
