Fish 0 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 "Spying in the America's Cup is an age-old tradition. Not so traditional is the event authority publicly commenting on information gained via spying and then offering repair advice" They aren't exactly recommending West system 105 with the slow hardener, but they are definitely offering advice on the repair... classic. More BS than a dairy shed. http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/other-sports/91068863/russell-coutts-continues-feud-by-calling-out-damage-to-team-new-zealand-boat Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fish 0 Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 Someone has to have an opinion on something. Island Time needs some traffic to keep the site going... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ScottiE 174 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Fish - i agree - but a story stating that exactly the same sh*t that has always gone down, is still going down, is not a story. There - that's my opinion! Oh and the fact that TNZ don't really make much of this sort of sh*t shows you that they know exactly what they're up against - have always known - don't really give a sh*t and are just hell bent on doing what they can with what they've got to try and get the f**kin thing back. No different to the days of KZ 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fish 0 Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 My punt on the practice racing thing, there will be a number of days TNZ could do practice racing with the other teams in Bermuda. I expect they wont. If they are faster, they wont wont to show that until they have to. The earlier they show they are faster, the sooner someone can either catch up, copy them, or lodge some sort of legal move to screw them up. They are already on the outside, marching to their own tune, may as well carry on. Better to keep the powder dry. Will be interesting to see what Dalton decides when they get there.

Island Time 1,220 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Someone has to have an opinion on something. Island Time needs some traffic to keep the site going... Actually, the site stats are pretty even - this from google analytics, for anyone interested; Still the busiest maritime website in NZ by a fair bit... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,220 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 But we can always use more posts. Anything (especially maritime) within the site rules is good! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Island Time 1,220 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Very witty! I guess a few more posts would make a fence... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ScottiE 174 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 But a lot more would make a . . . Wall? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,220 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 ! Donald, is that you? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Black Panther 1,581 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 The other thing about the stats to look at is time on the site. Apparently the industry average is about 15s so over 6min is pretty impressive Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Pope 243 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 so long as it is a fence and not an offence. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
