South Carolina | Ah. Still good to have a primary sponsor with bottomless pockets. I'll paint my Viper black and slap an Oracle sticker on it for a mil a year. Seems fair.... The truth is, except for New Zealand, all of these teams are the toys of their rich owners. It's not all that different than how we show up on the beach for an event like the Tybee with sponsor decals.

Northfield Mn | Yeah, but..... Your sponsors, and mine (my cabinet shop), aren't exactly on the same plane as Oracle.
I'm boatless.

No way condom sales could support that Team. Sheiks. Tim you're nuts.

Sebring, Florida. | I spend a lot of my layovers in Dubai.
Their intent is to win the AC, and have the next AC in Dubai.
Nothing wrong with that, it's just money well spent.

Sebring, Florida. | I'll bet if the Sheik of the Emirates has anything to say about it, and he does (ie, FUNDING $$$) it will be held in Dubai, should ETNZ win.
