So where's the money going? Do people reckon Coutts will be sailing in
the next America's Cup despite that contract? |

Probably but there will no doubt be lots of money and lawers involved. ------------- FLAT IS FAST! Shifts Happen |

coutts is racing Farr 40 with Platner the owner of the Z86 Morning Glory and is believed to be in a TP52 Campaign, I don't think his lawyer would suggest he even goes in the same room as another team for the AC. Coiler ------------- http://www.bangthecorner.com |

What? He is a professional sportsman who took the best paid job on offer and won ... just what happens in all other sports. I was in NZ during the cup there and all those idiots behind the Blackheart campaign ended up looking pretty stupid ... ------------- |
