Any conspiracy theorists out there? Are the Kiwi's letting Oracle catch up to increase the excitement level so that AC 35 will be even better televised, followed by the non-sailing media?
I agree that this has been one spectacular AC. I just wish I had had the opportunity to see them live from SF Bay! _____ From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Ken Heaton Sent: Tuesday, September 24, 2013 4:37 PM To: cnc-list Subject: Re: Stus-List America's Cup. I actually think this is the best America's cup in years. I'm following this one every day and I haven't done that fir years, probably since the early 1980's. There are others who seem to agree with me. Have a look at this article in the Huffington Post: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/christopher-caen/a-cup-of-caen-yelling-at-_b_3 975975.html Ken H.

We have a boat sponsored from a country that last time I used an atlas was in the Middle East. All participants being interviewed seem to have an accent from the Southern Hemisphere. Rumour has it that in fact we have only one American on board. If they win, it should be called the American's Cup. This really is quite a farce. Why not a boat, built, designed and made in that country, filled from citizens from there with sponsorship from the state. _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com
