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.

A 1 second winning margin

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.
