Island Time 1,234 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Hmm. 52 views, no comments. I guess that reflects the waning interest in this event. I can't bring myself to call it a regatta, or even a race.... Still like to see NZ win though! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Black Panther 1,581 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Comparing AC today to what it was is like comparing Olympic wrestling with WWF. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Clipper 343 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I got up early to watch the 'racing'. It was a pathetic excuse for a regatta. Too much tide, not enough wind. ETNZ got the worst start in all races. Generally sailed well from there, but there was a lot of luck in that win. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Romany 162 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 For me the AC is dead and buried. I'm not sure I would go down to the river to watch it. Worse than that though is the current mob have successfully engaged the old marketing ploy of rolling a dog turd in glitter and selling it as something else. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 398 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 I like watching them, we got lucky, but true yacht racing... not convinced of that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
