Well I am a truly loyal Kiwi, so go Dean Barker and team. The boats are well matched as per the crew, so its going to be an interesting next couple of days. There is so much more racing to go, so who knows where the cup will end up.

Reading this thread after two races I am reminded of the joke relating to the old bull and the young bull looking at the cows in the field!!!!
I suspect there is a little bit of gray hair'd wisdom in the kiwi camp and that they are some what wiser after two races!
Besides Switzerland is a miserable place for sea racing!

No Maz - all the grey hairs went to Alinghi, the young bulls are sailing NZL-82.

Sorry again Maz. The A/C deed of gift requires that the challenging entry has to represent a country with a sea-board. AFAIK Switzerland lacks this requirement(global warming notwithstanding) so the Swiss team have done a deal with Monaco which becomes a province of Switzerland for the purposes of satisfying the rules.

Just thought you might be interested in this - probably just scare-mongering, but theses days you can never be too sure.
"WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) - In terror threats sent to the U.S., Australian and British embassies here, a group calling itself ``September 11'' claimed it had 55 pounds of cyanide it will use against the America's Cup yacht race and U.S. interests if Iraq is attacked, police said Thursday"

Well we got SHAFTED. 5-0 and the cup is heading to Switzerland.
Oh well, we did better than the Ozzies, we kept it for one challenge at least. At least the bloody yanks didnt get it back!!!!
Clould be worse, it could have been won by the very guys to won it FOR US and then turned traitor.
Oh shte........

pretty poor effort in coverage over here in Oz Izza. The only parts of the races we saw were the mast breaking in the fourth race....AND THAT WAS ALL WE SAW!!
But seeing the outcome I'm glad I didn't see anymore
What I don't understand is anything breaking on a Kiwi boat, you guys normally build a bullet-proof boat
BTW if Alan Bond hadn't have been such a show off he could have out-psyched the Yanks in the next series but never thought that far ahead
day of mourning coming up ??????
