waikiore 489 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waikiore 489 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Well that "word" is rather a decade out of date, if you check out the actual people involved in that organisation 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites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 489 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....
