I'm sorry, but yachting is exceedingly dull.

Yachting is something I always wanted to get into doing, but I found I couldn't because in my mind being on a boat is just like being in prison, with the added possibility of being able to drown.
So I thought I'd become a fan instead, but I failed on that count too. I watched it on TV once and found a distraction in the grass growing on my front lawn, which was both quicker moving and infinitely more exciting.
So now I hate yachting.

Can we win the Americas Cup?
 
Can I give a monkeys cock on the outcome, is a more relevant question.

All I do is make the stuff I would've liked
Reference things I wanna watch, reference girls I wanna bite
Now I'm firefly like a burning kite
And yousa fake fuck like a fleshlight

yes we can win and yes it will be good for nz. Who cares if an arab airline is sponsoring it. It is nz muscle on that puppy!!! And on Alinghi for that matter!! I find it pretty interesting, but yeah its not for everyone. Go the black boat, give alinghi the BLACK PLAGUE

Sorry, don't know who 'we" is.
 
If you're asking if YF can win the America's Cup, then no, we haven't entered.

i thought the majoirty of team new zealand were in fact kiwis?
and theres a few kiwis on Alinghi, and other teams for that fact, so either way i guess we win but it would be better if the team with NZL92 on the sail won

the whole event is practically a new zealand event it just has lots of foreign cash!!! We win and they look good for picking the right horse.

The good thig if we win is the next series will most likely be held in New Zealand read Auckland. This has to be a good chance for some people to make money plus the GST and tax take for the government. That is why i hope they win.

Yeah, but they said that last time it was here and the only people who seem to make any dosh out of it are the t**sers who own the bars at the waterfront, charge $9.00 for a bottle of Stella and have a knuckle-dragging cro-magnon on the door who is programmed only to say "sorry maaaaate, those shoes is casual".
And furthermore, I think the real question is, can we stand seeing so many pairs of boatshoes on our streets again?
I know I can't.
