America's Cup

[Ron Manager]

Greetings from New Zealand where the locals are all going mad for the America's Cup sailing.

Because of the time difference races are on at 1-30 in the morning and many of them are still getting up to watch the sporting equivalent of paint drying (even duller than golf as a televised event). The papers are full of it and it's all over the TV and radio news - however overnight they went 4-2 down and if they lose tonight it's all over.

I keep getting asked if there's any fuss about it at home and I've been saying I very much doubt it - am I right?

Erm, coverage here is pretty non-existent. After the football tranfers, Wimbledon, Hamilton in F1, the 20-20s, the Tour de France...nope, still nothing!

Considering it's happening just off the coast here where I live in Spain, the coverage is immense. Rental prices and mooring charges have also gone through the roof ...
