ex Elly 197 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Not sure why you think Ben Ainslie isn't a nice guy. He was a nice guy when he was part of ETNZ, so what's changed? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Clipper 343 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I like Ben Ainslie. Hes also bloody good. One of the best ever. I dont know what they were doing to hit the dock, but thinking about it, with those wings, prob more amazing it doesnt happen more often... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ScottiE 174 Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 Except for his comments re Elvstrom I've always thought of him as an arrogant SOB and he always rubbed my up the wrong way. Maybe I should revisit my derision - lots of love here! Maybe I'm the arrogant SOB! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
