With some of the infrastructure already there it seems silly to let it all slip away when the circus leaves.


I posted a link to the auction of all that infrastructure earlier in the thread.

I want to bid on those catamaran sail signs for some odd reason - oh and the RC boat pool with built in fans :P

I'm not a fan of SA most of the time but unfortunately if your a AC junkie like me you have to go there to see videos and wade through the muck to get a few tid bits here and there. Pretty sure I'm not the only one. I believe it's the #1 sailing web site in the world. Correct me if I'm wrong. When a site like this makes statements like they did it's news. It's part of the drama that is this cup cycle. Now the first couple of things in that article are more like bulletin board material for supporters or team members. The tax issue could be something else. If you disagree fine. Not sure where the Tea Party or Obama fit in this.

This is a open forum and this thread deals with the AC.

Please don't suggest to me what I can say or where I can say it.


Have Fun

Doesn't every AC come down to "the last race"? It might be one or it might be four, but it will be the last race.


I knew that wasn't clear enough. I meant that it could be a score of 8:8, which I would love to see. Still a tough row to hoe and they are going to have to perform pretty flawlessly, there will have to be some continued luck (like the race taking too long when NZ was out front), and New Zealand will have to make some mistakes.


I'm boatless.

at least they (I believe Ainsley) admitted: it was better to be lucky than good...

I thought I saw some ridiculous quote like luck beats skill every time. I really don't think that's true in the long run, but I'm sure it feels that way sometimes.

I was just messin' with ya, knew what you meant.
I just hope the 2 penalty races don't become a factor. I really don't want to hear the "what ifs". As much racing as possible is good no matter how it ends.

If a boat fails you'll see screaming about the penalties I'm sure. Especially if its race 16 or something.

There is a great discussion on the Americas Cup on Sailing Anarchy with a lot of great post for all over the world...

AAMOF, there are a lot of great discussions on many topics going on there... and a great wealth of knowledge. Not all of SA is the General and/or Political Anarchy cesspool where 70% of the discussions end up in the gutter...
