Rick,
Is there any indication that the same or similar style design class will be selected for the AC - hard to think how they could make it anymore exciting. Long road for the Aussie team and hopefully they win the right to Challenge for the Cup.

PS - I doubt we'd ever be able to beat the kiwis at choking though www.stuff.co.nz/stuff-nation/assignments/are-kiwis-jokers-or-chokers/9207897/A-short-history-of-NZ-choking

Apparently they are going for 62 ft cats but faster than the last 72 ft.

Gosh sailing must be very serious ... judging by the music.

^^^yes, these guys are serious;


TEAM Australia's skipper for the America's Cup, Olympic gold medallist Mat Belcher, can expect no mercy from the fellow Aussie he hopes to one day dethrone as king of the regatta.

"Absolutely none, mate. Zero. I'm going to hold his head under if I get a chance," says James Spithill
