    Must be something in the water over at Tauranga.
    Both Burling and Kane Williamson went to school together.
    Both have gone onto useful careers it would be fair to say

        Spithall very gracious in defeat.

        Seems bemused how we have done all this by ourselves on probably the lightest budget.

        Noice!

          Luna Rossa have predictably been named the Challenger of Record.

          Now the fun begins.

            another PB and his old foe Dalton have brought the Cup home

              Cane was a year behind them too wasn't he? Not bad to turn out at all.

                @Hooroo you'd have to think it was a very smart decision to do training in Auckland and arriving when they did, if they had been racing them all along surely it would have given them better opportunity to realize the changes they needed to make.

                Yeah I actually like Spithill, suits the antagonist role perfectly, and he was very gracious, whereas Dalton was less so when it came to Spithill.

                I can go back to knowing nothing about sailing now πŸ™‚

                  While winning graciously is great... with the amount of flak Grant Dalton has had over the years, he's probably entitled to tell a few people to get fucked today.

                    Right, so i just found out this is finished AND that an Aussie is skippering your little boat.

                    So, in honour of @Virgil and his ongoing assertions that any Kiwi who walks within shouting distance of a successful venture is directly responsible for it:

                    FUCK YEAH AUSTRALIA! WON THE AMERICAS CUP! SHOULD FUCKEN RENAME IT "STRAYA CUP MATE"!

                    Etc.

                    πŸ™‚

                    On a serious note: gotta say that keeping the boat out of the water for a whole run is pretty impressive work by the crew.

                      I should be happy. But meh.

                      My Swiss work colleagues were more interested, which is telling.

                          Imagine the current boats in those conditions.

                              @Donsteppa fuck I remember hearing about that - if only we'd had a random Kiwi walk past our shed before the start, and look at it for three seconds.

                              Could have won that year to zip.

                                    @Donsteppa fuck I remember hearing about that - if only we'd had a random Kiwi walk past our shed before the start, and look at it for three seconds.

                                    Could have won that year to zip.

                                    You needed @virgil to bestow an aura on it.

                                    His powers only work in retrospect - all the times a Kiwi is found in any project with success.

                                    I know, it might take some time to wrap your head around how this power works - the universe comes at you fast.

                                        Wouldn't matter if you can't build a boat

                                        Ashby grew up around Bendigo. Hardly a seafaring town πŸ™‚
