Is anyone actually taking notice of the yacht race over in Spain?
The NZ side is Emirates Team New Zealand aptly named after a foreign airline, *ahem*
Anywho. There seems to be a wee bit of interest here in NZ, the odd TV advert now and again, a couple of news items popping up but really it's faded away from the heady days of red socks and Sir Peter Blake claiming the cup for NZ* for the first time in 1995!?
And so, to give those yachting people representing NZ* a wee bit of support from me, here's all the links that you will ever want:
- Official Emirates Team New Zealand site
- The team
- Americas Cup (English) site [Wikipedia]
- RSS: Americas Cup news
- RSS, Emirates Team New Zealand: news | interviews | features | pictures | audio
- Competitors
- Racing schedule + results
- Venue - Valencia in Spain [Wikipedia]
* NZ = Auckland Yachting Club but most people in New Zealand sort of claim it as their own. Be interesting if some crazy multimillionaire put forward a challenge from, say Wellington, how the 'team NZ' malarkey would be viewed then.
