waikiore 501 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 The carefully worded press release praising each other from Burling and Dalton has been somewhat washed away by Daltons more recent public comments. Yes the Royal Yacht squadron has done a neat pivot away from Ineos and backed Bens Athena racing as their team. Who really is interested in the cup ? The racing was not of top quality last year (the womens was of far better quality for those that got to see it) I hope the Italians get the venue they have stuck with it all along and are worthy recipients Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Presumably they have/will resign Nathan Outteridge although with his talent and Sail GP expanding he might be headhunted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

waikiore 501 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Well that "word" is rather a decade out of date, if you check out the actual people involved in that organisation 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 501 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Well with the latest protocol draft for the cup written apparently by Russell Green for the defender Team Dalton and the defending club RNZYS apparently contradicting the deed of gift , time will tell if any US based syndicates will bother coming , Coutts and Ellison will be smiling....

waikiore 501 Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 It seems that Paul Lewis from the Herald is writing whatever Dalton tells him to, not really reflecting the true position of the challengers in this tightened market for sponsor dollars worldwide. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ex Elly 267 Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 "The details are yet to be finalised but it seems, from the outside, to be a kind of sailing body corporate. Called the America’s Cup Partnership or ACP, it shares responsibility for matters like the format of the 38th Cup “and future cycles”, its timing, commercial rights, media rights and fundraising to meet the costs of the event – and to attract new teams. It’s a huge step. It takes the Cup away from sole control by the defenders and places it in the hands of a, well, committee involving the defenders and challengers. It’s designed to help safeguard the future of the Cup within a new structure, supported by other measures like teams spending no more than €60 million ($115m) to encourage more entries and broaden the appeal. It’s generally accepted that it costs about $200m to design, build and race a competitive AC75 foiling monohull like those in the last two Cups (though Team NZ spent only about $120m). https://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/sailing/americas-cup/americas-cup-team-new-zealand-face-power-struggle-over-new-protocol-paul-lewis/NYES7GM465AKTAHPXUY574U74I/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Moreover TNZ like all successful organisations is more than one person. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
waikiore 501 Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Team Dalton had kept the wages low using the nationality rule for quite a while so it was bound to happen, bit like NZ really! 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
