Oh god not Dubai...anything but that!! Please let it be in a country which actually cares about the sport and not just about the kudos of hosting an international event. |

I might be sailing it, but it's still sh**e!

Well after living in Dubai and being such a small community rumors had gone around that if ETNZ win it is written in the contract that the cup will be held there which would be good although sounds quite over the top. All of this may have changed mind you following the arrival of Victory Challenge and Alinghi out there

Well BMW are now out, Luna Rossa are looking very good out there.
And it's now ETNZ 4: 2 Desafio in the other semi, can Desafio pull it back, I doubt it but it would be nice to see the cup stay in Europe at least there's a chance of going and watching it. |

I think its first to 5 points/best of 9. Who is everyone supporting? I'd like it to stay in Europe, Italy would be good, but possbly even more expensive! |

Looks like TNZ Vs Luna Rosa for the final then.... Luna Rosa certainly seem to have some talented sailors onboard, while TNZ appear to have a fast boat. Should be an interesting contest. Hopefully it will be quite evenly balanced as well. Would be exciting to see it go to 8-8 and come down to the last race! |

Luna Rossa kept a tight hold on Oracle yesterday. Rather than trying to sail their own race. New Zealands penalty seemed to upset their concentration. I can't think of a race where a penalty hasn't cost the boat the race. A rest day today.

Surprisingly, this has turned into a real contest, which must have shocked the Americans somewhat! Can Luna Rossa keep it up? |
