Didn't Dean Barker lose us the cup a few years back in the first place? They should have got Scott Watson to take the helm. That guy can sail!! He would have won the cup by now, made Jimmy Spittal disappear, repainted the boat a nice shade of sky blue and made sure all the Sailing Away cassettes were nice and clean.


0:25.  LOL.

The start of our agonies.  But I'll give the KZ7 campaign something - we were trying to get one over the Aussies (who did care at the time).  So C-Diddy - you are kind of responsible in my mind for all this nonense, sadly.


But then, suddenly, everyone around the world simply stopped caring - meanwhile, to be a true NZer - the America's Cup became a pillar requirement for NZ DNA.  To question that makes you...well...an un-NZer.
