I read a poultry $5m which is crazy small even with NZ population size.
I could be wrong, but I think these funds are just to hold the team together (keep them paid) until a game plan and some interim sponsorship is found. They did this last time as well to stop the team being ravaged by the vultures hanging around the Viaduct right now (a lesson learned from 2000).Ymx wrote: Wed Mar 17, 2021 7:06 pmHow much is the govt throwing in?Enzedder wrote: Wed Mar 17, 2021 6:06 pm So, 37th America's Cup planning underway

Imagine how much they’d throw at Dalts to host it in Dubai.
Spot on. I wonder if Dalton is starting a Dutch auction. If so, let him go.Snooze wrote: Wed Mar 17, 2021 8:16 pmI could be wrong, but I think these funds are just to hold the team together (keep them paid) until a game plan and some interim sponsorship is found.

Is that Dalton on board NZ boat? Thought he would be hiding on boat with UK being allowed only to board.

Fair goes. My uncle got married at 18, they had their first child at age 20, was a granddad at 42 or so, and a great granddad at 65.

So you have kids 22-48? Having children for over 26 years. So you probably have 10 plus yourself.Dan54 wrote: Sat Mar 20, 2021 7:52 pmNo mate, I in younger groupYmx wrote: Sat Mar 20, 2021 10:41 am Do you have children older than your own brothers/sister?

And it is to be noted that none of brothers and siters have families the same size .
Kind of funny as I was just saying to wife that the youngest grand daughter that I mentioned at beginning has jus passed her masters degree from Uni in Wellington, and I reckon having a grandaughter old enough to have letters after her name makes me feel older than having a son almost 50!
Seriously, how could this even be entertained.
Racing on Solent next year would boost America’s Cup, says Sir Ben Ainslie
Ainslie believes that a Cup next year would improve the event’s continuity

The notion of the next America’s Cup being fought out on the Solent between Team New Zealand and Ineos Team UK is a serious prospect and has the full support of Sir Ben Ainslie.
In an interview with The Times, the British skipper of Ineos Team UK made clear that he regards the idea of a single-challenger defence by TNZ on the Solent — the strait that separates the Isle of Wight from the British mainland — next year as a viable and desirable option.
Yep. Genuinely don’t understand how they think this should be entertained in any way. It’s like somebody is just trying to pad the blame with an overbearing sponsor.Ymx wrote: Tue Mar 23, 2021 8:28 pm On topic

It would be like INEOS buying the rights to have been winner of the cup.
Not having to compete against any challengers and immediately in the final.
And then to be hosting it at home as well.
What the actual fuck?
Sound s incredibly cheeky to be even suggesting the defender give up hope rights.Flockwitt wrote: Tue Mar 23, 2021 11:40 pmYep.

Ainslie imagines NZ and Team NZ might be charitable about Britian's wellbeing out of Covid.All I can say is we would be delighted if New Zealand did want to bring the Cup to Britain. It would be an incredible opportunity to build on the momentum coming out of this Cup; give the country something big to shout about coming out of Covid; give New Zealand the chance to raise commercial revenue; and all the other teams the chance to regroup.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sailing/202 ... e-magical/And as far as the 2024 event is concerned, nothing would change with Ineos happy to return to Auckland – if that was what New Zealand wanted – regardless of whether they won or lost in Cowes. The idea is more that it would be "a bridge" to the next Cup.
