They should go back to the old yachts when we had 12 challengers.
The billonaires should stop messing around with the rules.

I sure he died doing what he loved and his mates will have a few rums for him.

1340524 2013-05-10 21:18:00 Did anyone notice the unfortunate blunder made by Paul Cayard made when speaking of the drowning victim in yesterday's accident?

In naming Andrew Simpson, Cayard initially called him Bart Simpson, realised the blunder and corrected himself in the same breath. Unless Bart was Andrew's nickname, I thought it sad Cayard couldn't have made an effort to make sure of his facts.

Easy enough done, I suppose, but RIP, Andrew.

If you read the NZ herald article, it does say Andrew 'Bart' Simpson, so presumably it was his nickname.

Thanks for that. I hadn't read the Herald, I was just going off a TV clip. It would seem 'Bart' was a natural nickname, so I'll take back that criticism of Cayard.
