nichosnz 0 Report post Posted March 2, 2003 Just a few minutes ago, my county lost the America's cup to Alinghi of Switzerland. In charge of that boat were a pair of New Zealanders who were accused by some member of the NZ Yacht Club of misconduct. I'm not sure how racing for another county is misconduct, or most F1 drivers are guilty. But the boat that was hailed from NZ to England to the USA as going to keep the cup 5-nil has just lost it nil-5. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karen 0 Report post Posted March 5, 2003 Don't know what the big deal is most skippers move around from country to country. But the site of the next Americas cup will be pretty to say the least. And the water shouldn't be as treatchourus [excuse the spelling] as the southern water. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
