Gee - how coincidental!

that'll be me also - either that or PYBC which is a bit closer.

Here's a bit of context around this particular section of the so called monopoly http://www.sail-world.com/NZ/Americas-Cup-divorces-TVNZ-after-30-years-of-live-Cup-TV-coverage/142360?source=google.co.nz

TV broadcasting can hardly be called a monopoly in this country

How was racing today?

Sadly we for people like this we live in a sad world.

wow - this represent very good value to get into the 8,5 fleet! http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/boats-marine/yachts/multihull/auction-1326024451.htm

http://www.sail-world.com/NZ/Volvo-Ocean-Race-unveils-combined-Monohull-Multihull-future/153873 Everybody else is doing it!

Yeh sorry perhaps a bit harsh. But your POV was ignorant and I had already had to deal with a lot of other ignoramuses pissing in my cereal yesterday. There's only so much of other people's pish you can handle!

KM - check your PM's about my excess tape!

sh*t - that's not good! http://www.sail-world.com/Canada/Antigua-Bermuda-Race-%E2%80%93-Day-6-%E2%80%93-Allegra-take-multihull-line-honours/153851 News from the fleet still racing is that Les Crane's Farr PH 56, Monterey had been abandoned after taking on water; the cause is unknown. The crew are all safe and well having been transferred onto the Volvo 60, Esprit De Corps IV. The schooner Spirit of Bermuda is close by and both boats are making their way to the finish in Bermuda.

KM - I can probably help you on that - you'll need to finish my cordage though!

but Big V - all the challangers (with one notable exception) agreed to it so who are you to think it ridiculous when they clearly didn't!

It's here in the Protocol https://www.americascup.com/en/rules.html 29.1 if the winner of the America’s Cup Qualifiers is a Competitor in the Match, the Competitor that did not win the America’s Cup Qualifiers shall start the Match with a score of minus one (-1) point; Refer amendment 6.6.1 It's 1st to 7

yeh - though that's a bit rough - there's no way that he should be able to hook the mark without hitting it. Last time round I thought they had GPS positioned marks?

another view - looks awesome! http://www.sail-world.com/Canada/Americas-Cup---Land-Rover-BAR-takes-out-Kiwis-at-start---Day-2/153825

Be careful guys - who are you to come in and debunk Prof Wheels with your alternative facts. Afterall he did study that photo - twice! That other mob are just a bunch of loonie leftie academics with paper degrees from some noname tertiary institution at the bottom of the world - all they did was go and have a wander round the island and dig a few deep holes. I mean seriously - you should be ashamed of yourselves!

RNZ picked up this story tonight. Another one up for one of the few serious news outlets in this country.

See other thread in Tech. I used sika 209D primer on both surfaces.
