...and ESPN wishes an "American" boat were in the finals. (American money, that is.) The only fun this year is it's NZ vs. NZ Traitors. They've arranged special security for the traitors' families and to wisk them out of the country in case they win. Apparently the NZers don't see the humor...

Actually Dave, according to the New Zealand Herald 80% of Kiwis don't blame Coutts et al for "deserting" - it was basically a lunatic fringe that caused the problems ("Blackheart Campaign"). They take their sailing VERY seriously down there - there is one sailboat for every three people on the Island. They start their kids sailing (and racing!) in Optis at age 6 and work 'em up through bigger and bigger boats. No wonder they have so many world class (and sought after!) competitors Derek - who wishes he was back in Auckland right now...<img src=icon_smile_sad.gif border=0 align=middle>
Thanks John, it's good to have the schedule for the cup this year!
Even though this one doesn't involve an American (money) boat, it is still the America's Cup. Hope to get to see some of it! Also good for us'uns to support sailing when ESPN decides to show sailing on the tube!

Just a note to Johns schedule above - The pregame stuff - old races shown on the fourteenth prior to the gun at 7:00pm is now scheduled on ESPN CLassic
