What more could you want I had thought that too haha. Would be an awesome venue, and epic for the local economy....however that is putting the cart miles in front of the horse at the moment. |

At least Burling is Kiwi-made. :D Yes, and for a bonus he’s a “Vic” and you know what the other States say about “Vic’s”. :D All that aside, he is also the "Sailing Director" and "Wing Trimmer" with excellent credentials having won 10 Australian “A” Class championships and 15 World Championships. He has been very quiet, I believe saving himself for telling Sheep Jokes should the going get tough. ;) |

| 1436093 | 2017-06-14 04:25:00 | TV set in the lounge I suspect.. Yep, a little OT and back to 2017 ... I may be forced to splash (a pun?) out and join SKY in order to watch the Americas Cup now we're the challenger. I did this once a few years back so I didn't have to watch TVNZ coverage and thus wasn't forced to hear dear old Pete give a Mexted-like commentary. Once the regatta was over, I cancelled SKY. They're not much use for anything else. :) |

| 1436094 | 2017-06-14 04:48:00 | Again slightly OT, but let's not forget the young Kiwi team who finished on top: The NZL Sailing Team finished on top of the ladder after qualifying and it's where they want to be when racing in the Red Bull Youth America's Cup finals gets under way next week. The team, skippered by Logan Dunning Beck, won two of today's three races to jump from fourth overnight to finish equal on points with Land Rover BAR Academy from Great Britain and Spanish Impulse. :clap:clap:clap |
