There is nothing - absolute nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing-about in boats

Its so sensible takes the power out of the sails and puts the boat head on to the wave. Thats the beauty of weatherhelm, it makes you do it. So don't Team NZ know that? Bye bye Americas Cup, its been nice having you. Paul J you are right, we should have had a defender series, I concide defeat. Really breaking a mast, if was'nt so heart breaking it would be funny. I hope Russell and Brad enjoy their new country.

Its a shame, really.  I would have liked to see NZ hold the cup for a few rounds.

There's always next time ... that is, if the Swiss don't win.  If they win, what course are they going to hold it on?  Lake Geneva?

Nevermind Buck, NZ can still still make the super six in the cricket world cup.

Except that it depends on run rate now, damn shame that, I would definitely rate the NZ cricket squad in the top six in the world, its all happending at once for you guys.

Yeah, I reckon, with just a bit of luck, we'll be there and they're playing really well at the moment. Heres to NZ -Aussie final!
