Here is my shot....this should be like Aussie State of Origin....which is the most compelling sport on the globe.
You play for where you were born...end of story. Should apply to design, managegment, crew and manuafacture.
The sailors have plenty of other places to make money.
Get rid of ALL electronic gear. Globe compass and that is it Baby.
That twat on Alingi with the Borg eye thing is just plain wrong and Dean Barker whould have to sing us a song if he is going to be miked like that.
It is like the Formula One.....Get rid of all that electro crap off the steering wheel and start button and whatever.....start buttons??? these guys don't even have to deal with the clutch off the line.
No wonder people are leaping through the air on mototrbikes....No wonder it is popular,,,,real people doing real things.

By the way, in this 4th race....is Alingis tacking so superior to NZ that NZ just cannot tack and just follows Alingi strait out to the lay line with no fight....give me a break. So tomorrow we try to hold the starboard entry advantage and the next day we try to force a penalty in the start box.

butterball... : )
