1436677 2017-06-28 10:19:00 Wellington Harbour would be a great venue :)
Yep, could be. Just got to make the harbour a better shape and put it in a more favourable place, both seem easy enough to do.

1436679 2017-06-28 10:55:00 Tauranga Harbour. Then I could watch some of it from my lounge window. Marnie (4574)

1436681 2017-06-28 19:38:00 Bermuda did put on some very good sailing weather.

There were very few races postponed etc

But the crowds at the finish lines seemed quite small.

Due I suppose to Bermuda having a small population, not having a Team Bermuda in the final.

1436682 2017-06-28 19:40:00 Years ago there was much spin off for our boat building industry.

We had quite a few super yacht builders.

I dont think we have many / any now.

What happened to them?

I think our high dollar and high wages probably killed the cost advantage we used to have

1436683 2017-06-28 22:23:00 I vote for having the race in Cook StraitYour vote doesn't count. Greg (193)
1436684 2017-06-29 04:25:00 Your vote doesn't count.

Last time I looked, NZ was a democracy.
Besides it was sarcasm......they'd last 5 minutes in Cook Strait.

But I do prefer that Aussie race, more exciting, a long way, real boats etc. That takes a lot of skill!

1436685 2017-06-29 05:22:00 What about Foveaux Strait? :)

You mean you aren't taking my suggestion seriously? There would be a great view from the top of Bluff Hill ( and there is very good sailing in Foveaux Strait - when the weather is right :devil).
