Of the two Kiwi teams, I prefer the Swiss one.

Can't decide... Alighi always seem a wee bit smug to me, but it would be good to see the competition stay in Europe. I think they have greatly improved the format of the competition as well whilst keeping the tradition. I admire TNZ as well though, coming back and really challenging hard after getting hammered in the last cup.

That last race was far from dull, especially the end.

Deano must be kicking himself. What happened at the last mark? Nightmare.

I've dug out a picture we saw in Auckland in 2003. It probably still applies |

Surely deano took an un-necessary risk at that last windward mark, NZ had pace downwind and should have accepted that the position astern of Alinghi at the hoist cos they could roll them.
