    The same thing happened a few weeks back as hundreds of NZ flags attached to power poles were removed in the dead of night. Those NZ flags were said to have been a gift from Stephen Tindall.

    The Americans are fiercely patriotic so US flags are everywhere on the mainland but Bermuda is a British Overseas Territory so Oracle can hardly claim the moral high ground.

    I'll join when Jegga does, I only knew the Cup was on a while back when my OCD got the better of me and I was clearing my unread page.

    Better wait until after the court ruling.

    Hey I know we're hoping this sailing thingo is over tomorrow but I really didn't follow what was going on in San Fran until it looked like we'd win and didn't so really misssd all the fireworks of Spithill baiting TNZ back then.

    Is there any decent summary on line of the antagonism that I can read to inform the particular distaste held for him?

    Just done a quick google but can't find much.

    You can pretty much draw your own conclusions about Spithill after watching that.

    This year most of it centered around his comments after the second round robin race, and then a comment here he mentioned he had a mole in the ETNZ team.

    Gate 4, 300m ahead.
    No time limit to fuck it up this time. Nailing it.
    Oracle's going to have to aim at us head-on, and try for a penalty.

    Nicely done - saved the Cup and just in the nick of time.

    Burling is a special one that's for sure.
