    Maybe the days of Connor, Coutts, Butterworth, Berterelli, Ellison et al are gone. Let's hope so. The lawyers will be spewing though

    @mariner4life Nah. Fuck that, it went on for too long. I have sailed for most of my life and I want to see deign, development, and boats on the water deciding the outcome, not lawyers.

    Agreed that they are fluffybunnies.

        I don't mind a bit of back and forth in the lead up, builds some tension, concentrate on the racing once it all starts though

              Because Connor is a fluffybunny and Fay not much better.
              However the deed of gift did stipulate a "match race" so define that how you will. It isn't an easy document.
              Fay challenged in a "J" (from memory) class monohull. Connor showed up with a catamaran. Not a "match" which is why we now have the proper measures for the boats. All the same as motor sport now, in terms of weights, specs, etc. The AC 75 specs are pretty specific but leave room for teams to innovate. All good as I see it.

                                      You can be included in the dickheads comment.

                                      I am intrigued how a comment can be "sort of" tongue in cheek. Either you're pregnant or you're not.
                                      The post was as much about me remembering how it all came about, and I assumed that a corrector would be out there to help me, but the piss takers showed up.
