Here's the video replay. Pretty much a boring non-event . . .

ACWS wil be FOILING!

"The six America’s Cup teams have agreed to a project that will see the existing fleet of AC45 catamarans modified into fully foiling catamarans for racing in the America’s Cup World Series (ACWS).

Importantly, the teams have also committed to continue to race the foiling AC45s on the America’s Cup World Series circuit in 2018, following the conclusion of the 35th America’s Cup in 2017."

I think everyone expected this to happen. If not for the first series but definitely for the next.

Nothing unless Larry decides to stop writing checks. He's done this before and it won't last he can't stand letting someone else call the shots. I say these two have 2 years tops before they are kicked to the curb regardless of performance. Co CEO's... yeah that's gonna work, let the cage match commence. What a tool, just pick one Larry!

Or... he could be dying and the stock price sure is leaning that way. If that's the case the shareholders won't foot the bill and Oracle is out!

America's Cup: Then and now - Coutts on why Oracle won, and the Venue

Full story here.

"Oracle Team USA owner Larry Ellison, one of the of the richest men in the world, apparently has gotten tired of plopping down $100 million here and $100 million there to pay the costs of not only defending the silver trophy, but staging the overall event.

Ellison has charged Coutts with coming up with a way to make the America's Cup pay for itself. It's expensive for participants and organizers alike.

Coutts took a first step by pulling the event from San Francisco, where, he said, it would cost some $38 million to stage the next regatta. The New Zealander was unhappy that San Francisco was unwilling to give cup organizers the same terms as last time, which included free use of piers and city services."

Top 20 sports earners

"Topping the list is Oracle Team USA's Sir Russell Coutts with alleged earnings of $13million. He is just a $1million ahead of an English Premier League player, Winston Reid, and motor racing ace, Scott Dixon."

I thought there were a whole bunch of NBA, NFL and Baseball players making a lot more than $13M/yr.
Didn't A Rod sign a deal for like $150 Million over 10 years?

Here is a link to the article Timbo

. . . and when they reference Winston Reid making 12 million playing football, they're not talking about football, they're talking about football.

I'm still making LESS than I was in 2004, when Delta filed for Bankruptcy and cut our pay by 42%, oh, and I have no retirement plan, because they took that too ($1.4 Million for me at the time).

You wonder why I can't afford a new mainsail for an F16?

THAT'S WHY!

But hey, our CEO made over $100 Million last year...so we got that going for us!

I knew I should have taken up golf!
