121265 2003-02-15 01:55:00 It's a bad first race for Team NZ. Let's hope they do better tomorrow (or whenever the next race is on). It's hard to imagine how many mechanical stuff-ups can happen in one race. somebody (208)

121267 2003-02-15 02:45:00 Oh dear... I can remember thinking... "Gee... that water in the boat doesn't look normal..."

My guess would be... water got in... the pumps or whatever to automatically pump out the water failed, forcing the first tack... added weight due to water slowed us down and put pressure on the sails... resulting in massive gear failure...

So much for the idea that we could handle heavier winds better... I'm absolutely gutted.... :(

Lo.

121268 2003-02-15 03:20:00 we win 4-1...today was just something to put hopes into alingi into high hopes ;)

Haaaaaaaaaaa Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Nice try.

I think in the short time the race was a race, that Team NZ showed that they have an excellent boat, with good speed. It was only the first race, plenty more to go

121270 2003-02-15 06:54:00 No pumps on the boats - just vents and valves, like the venturis, similar to the valve setup on the old carburettors. Greg S (201)
121271 2003-02-15 08:21:00 I have been waching The Louis Vutton & the America's Cup on TV & on Virtual Spectator (http://www.virtualspectator.com) it is relly cool waching the boats in 3D!

Go Team NEW ZEALAND!!

What did Team NZ have to say at the press conference? I missed it (was it on the news?)
