This is Sailing THREE!

And we won back the America's Cup. At least those whiny, litigious New Zealanders didn't get it back. Protest this, Michael Fay...

At least America has, you know, access to the sea.

the America's cup was retarded. 4 years of court battles, no challenger series and a best of 3 race on fucking space-ship boats. ghey

I think a kiwi ran the boat that won it

I'm ready for boat season.

The views of shitloads of pretty lit-up masts in English and Falmouth Harbours are a highlight of driving down to the GEHA for partying purposes.

It's time for maximum Mustard greens fool.
Could have picked a mess back three weeks ago, dead of winter.
It was already growing to be noticeable . And man it sure tastes fine today.

The defenders make the rules. Get over it.

Like the US got over Australia II ?

It's the politics of the cup. This time it was the fucking Spanish. They formed a new club just to keep the cup in Valencia which is where the Swiss Alinghi was based, then sued the US over over USA-17, who counter-sued to see that if another challenger won the cup was removed from Valencia, blah blah blah... It's just posturing. Like trash talking before a football game. But the civilized use lawyers.

Yes, the helmsman was Russell Coutts from Team NZ.

What are you on about anyway? A-II's design was authorized and Australia took the cup in '83.

Much the same as you...

... in Brian speak.

(A II had to fight the lawyers to be authorozed)

Oh for fucks sake stop whining. RPYC broke the longest streak in the oldest competitive international sport in the world. The lawyers didn't win it, the team did. If we showed up at a target shoot, you carrying a boomerang and me a sniper's rifle, you'd cry foul just like Dennis Conner.

Then again I'd expect YOU to be a little smarter.

Haha Dennis Conner


Paul Holmes interviews Dennis Conner

umm, im not ?  and if i knew my boomerang had a good chance of kicking your rifles ass... no, i wouldnt.

and you do know the lawyers got invloved before the US-Au races... right ? <- just a btw/fyi type thing... im not trying to pick a fight with a sailor boy.

Yeah I know all that Brian.

LOL Holy shit, was he drunk in that interview or what??? That brings back a lot of memories. Conner was the biggest arrogant whiny fag in the SDYC. But he did bring the cup home won 4 races and at least he wasn't one of those tight-assed NYYC fucknuts.

"I believe the race should be won on the water" Yeah sure, Dennis.

"I was asked to do a job by my friends, as a sailor. It was not my decision. No sailor has had a good feeling about racing a catamaran against a monohull"

BULLSHIT!!! I've kicked the crap out of monohulls in a multihull and it felt GREAT! Especially when the captain or pilot of a single brags as much about his sailing ability as I do. AConner showed up at a knife fight with a fucking cannon, earned the nickname "Dirty Dennis" and then whined about it publicly, and here he is LYING about it on NZTV. What a tool.

God I hate that guy...

mutual

I dont care.

and if i knew my boomerang had a good chance of kicking your rifles ass... no, i wouldnt.

What do you call a boomerang that doesn't come back?










...a stick...! 

Si, I see Sarah was posting RORC 600 dockparty notices. You have no idea how much I'd like to field that someday but I'm limited by a 35' monohull and the lack of a million dollars to buy a 60' trimaran. But I can dream...

Oh yeah, her dad's doing that race.
