  1. first race should be next monday (8th of Feb) , around 10AM C.E.T. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  2. I knew that.. and it always has been a BIG MONEY affair.... never was about sailing for/by sailors, but sailing for/by millionaires, and now billionaires.... scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  3. the choice apparently, as I understand, belongs to the challenger. The America Class boats as they were in the 2-3 last editions were beautiful yachts... Now the mega-multihulls that they came with for this edition are plain incredible. I'd love to see the BOR90 close. Was lucky to see Alinghi V very close, and WAWAWEEWAAAH that thing is sexy. Bigger monohulls might be the future
  4. I'm not too sure, but maybe that the NYC Court is depositary of the Deed of Gift or something. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  5. it will be free on the internet, on the America's Cup website. www.americascup.com/en/regate/stay-connected/regarder-la-course-49-936 scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  6. errrr.... don't think there was any legal-fighting in the last 2 editions at least... scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  7. Next monday, we should be able to witness the fastest regatta ever between 2 of the incrediblest wind-propelled boats ever. My preference would be that Alinghi wins on the water, and that the NY Court doesn't invalidate the result of the race. The 2 boats have never been directly compared, anything can happen. Best wishes to both sailing teams, keep it exciting, don't break anything. Who do you think will win, and how ? P.S. it might be the 1st sailing regatta where the prestart could be : Gentlemen, Start your engines
  8. He should have said NO WAY... would have saved lots of time on the intraweb trying to get votes
  9. 1- Completely with you on this one. Inspecting gear and packing reserves is underpaid. 2-Switch on and forget. Just don't forget to turn it off when leaving the DZ scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

  11. that was my 2nd jump of teh year, from the same machine, but last time the pilot jumped with us was nice to meet you and finish the day with the mini-boogie-fondue
  12. it means that camo is gay scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  13. As one of my army NBC instructors used to say : Learning by doing, not learning by masturbation.... Congrats Julia Nick, your bike is now definitely going to get painted pink scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM

  21. IIRC there has been a fatality in Paris, France. Broken neck in the tunnel, flyer deceased later in hospital. That was a couple of years ago. scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  22. Hi Andre, Sorry too, I certainly have overreacted to what seemed to me a Cypres bashing. What I understand now is that you were doing a comparison between "top mounted" and "bottom mounted" cutters. If this is the case it would have been better (in my opinion) to create a new thread. Bonne journée
  23. WORTH REPEATING Thanks Michi scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
  24. 1- try and find a picture of a computer flying through a window 2- everything is in my screen, so I would indeed not know the difference scissors beat paper, paper beat rock, rock beat wingsuit - KarlM
