  1. Why can't today's newly minted billionaires - especially the tech-bros - do S_IT like this !!!! .... and stop injecting themselves into areas they know NOTHING about ???

    Media mogul and philanthropist Ted Turner bought vast stretches of land in Colorado, New Mexico, Montana and Nebraska and managed them for conservation and wildlife protection.

    One property, the 363,000-acre Armendaris Ranch in south-central New Mexico is shielded from development by the nation’s second-largest permanent conservation easement. hcn.org/articles/ted-turner-ow

  2. Der America’s Cup ohne Amerikaner: Kann das sein? Bisher unmöglich! In den vergangenen 37. Ausgaben der berühmtesten Segeltrophäe der Welt waren die USA immer irgendwie vertreten. Jetzt aber sind sie wohl raus.

    Le regate della 38ª edizione dell'America's Cup si svolgeranno tra Castel dell'Ovo e Posillipo, promettendo uno spettacolo indimenticabile all'ombra dell'imponente...

  4. It seems that MBIE and Central Government weren't prepared to fold to Russell Coutts' multimillion dollar demands this time and the 2027 America's Cup will not be held in Auckland.

    I, for one, will not miss the spectacle of billionaires and their overpaid lackeys playing highly subsidised sailing games.

  6. Funny how our right wing govt are all "user pays" about everything, until until it's rich boys yachting.

    Then oh, the majority should pay so the rich can play.

  7. Ian Taylor, who has a vested interest in the America's Cup, is calling on Luxon to bring the billionaires' race to NZ. He thinks it will be a "chance to showcase New Zealand globally."

    Here's an idea, Ian. If you and your wealthy mates are so keen, why not put your hands in your own pockets and stop asking for taxpayer subsidies.

  8. I managed to miss the live of the last race, so had to rewatch it after the fact, but it was a good race. I'm kinda happy the Brits still didn't manage to get back the #AmericasCup, but they put up a hell of a fight.
    Looking forward to the next cup, tho I still don't like the AC75.

    Nieuw-Zeeland heeft voor de derde keer op rij de prestigieuze America's Cup gewonnen. De titelverdediger boekte in de zeilwedstrijd bij Barcelona een 7-2-overwinning op uitdager Groot-Brittannië.

  11. As New Zealand goes head to head with Great Britain in its defence of the America’s Cup, the Kiwis have a secret weapon, a Māori waka (canoe) that will lead them into the contest.

    The race began on 12 October and is due to end a week later. Each race day, the waka will lead Team New Zealand out of Barcelona harbour as a “Māori guard of honour”, says Graham Tipene, coordinator of the waka that is crewed almost entirely by members of the Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei iwi (tribe).

    There will also be a haka performed on the water and some of the crew will go in with the team to perform karakia (prayers and incantations) before they go out to race.

    “What differentiates us from the other teams … is our deep connection to the ocean and the land and our guardianship of it,” Tipene says.

  12. Sempre sentito dire che Ben Ainslie è fumantino, ma sentirlo chiamare il cronista #FuckingWanker in diretta mondiale è stato un momento bellissimo #americascup

  13. Fantastic race on the #WomensAmericasCup but a single match race is still terrible, congrats #LunaRossa anyway!

    And as for the real #AmericasCup, ETNZ flys as expected, will be though for Ineos.

  15. @JonathanMosen I’ve been watching the regatta on YouTube so I get it ad free. This will be the first America’s Cup in my living memory without PJ Montgomery. Having Stephen MacGyver say “the America’s Cup, is now insert country name here cup” will not have the same ring to it. #AmericasCup

  16. women's #AmericasCup has been thrilling.

    But again, back to a single match race for the final like for the youth cup, I cannot fathom why.

  17. To be honest, I find the 6 boat races of the #americascup women races more interesting to watch. Might just be that 6 boats are more fun to watch than the 1vs1 matchups with the bigger boats; more action I guess. #sailing

  18. Went to lunch at a beachside restaurant here in Barcelona and caught the final race of the Louis Vuitton cup. We were watching the boats go back and forth in front of us as we watched the live freed on YouTube on my phone for the commentary and detail view.

    Congratulations to INNEOS Britannia for that most decisive win against Luna Rosa Prada Pirelli! It was exciting to watch.

    The British will go on to challenge the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron aboard Taihoro, in the #AmericasCup between 12-20 November

  19. Racing doesn’t get better than that. Well done Ineos Team Britannia and commiserations to Luna Rossa Prada Perelli #AC37 #AmericasCup

  20. #AmericasCup incredibile #LunaRossa fa un macello e perde la prima gara a causa di errori *software* e poi vince la seconda regata in scioltezza con lo scafo aggiustato al volo con il nastro adesivo (sì, lo so che non è lo scotch e che c'è pure il nastro per aerei).
    Pazzesco.

  21. Altra giornata da mangiarsi i gomiti!
    Non mi spiego come non abbiamo preso penalità nella partenza della quarta gara, ma sarà stata una compensazione karmica per la terza.
