Stuart Benbow Posted February 28, 2003 Report Share Posted February 28, 2003 They finally start racing after days off, and the sports channel has stopped airing it! I finally start watching it online using their race tracking tool, and following the New Zealand Herald report on the events, which lags behind the race by a fair margine. I got confused, then worried when the tracker started showing NZ nolonger moving, and then sailing backwards ... then the harold told the tale. No mast = no win, and it sounds like they were taking on water again too. Somebody sure goofed on the design of that boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeStevenson Posted March 3, 2003 Report Share Posted March 3, 2003 So is that it for the race coverage? Not like there's any question as to who's getting the cup. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Benbow Posted March 3, 2003 Report Share Posted March 3, 2003 Actually, they ended up resuming the race coverage, but started shifting the air times. 12am for race 4, with a replay due to race 5 being postponed at 7 the following day, and I missed race 5 due to company, but either way, New Zealand didn't pull out a win, and I heard that they broke their spinaker pole during race 5. Not the kind of end to an America's Cup series that I'd be overly proud of ... but at least their boat didn't break appart or sink. I was beginning to wonder.
