Maybe the days of Connor, Coutts, Butterworth, Berterelli, Ellison et al are gone. Let's hope so. The lawyers will be spewing though
they were the best parts
"get off the stage loser"
followed by 8 legal challenges.
rich fluffybunnies acting like rich fluffybunnies makes the Americas Cup seem more real
I don't mind a bit of back and forth in the lead up, builds some tension, concentrate on the racing once it all starts though

Because Connor is a fluffybunny and Fay not much better.
However the deed of gift did stipulate a "match race" so define that how you will. It isn't an easy document.
Fay challenged in a "J" (from memory) class monohull. Connor showed up with a catamaran. Not a "match" which is why we now have the proper measures for the boats. All the same as motor sport now, in terms of weights, specs, etc. The AC 75 specs are pretty specific but leave room for teams to innovate. All good as I see it. -

Just respect your elders, and when I say elders, I mean @Snowy who must be about 100?

You can be included in the dickheads comment.
I am intrigued how a comment can be "sort of" tongue in cheek. Either you're pregnant or you're not.
The post was as much about me remembering how it all came about, and I assumed that a corrector would be out there to help me, but the piss takers showed up. -
