Our dreams, they feel real while we're in them, right? It's only when we wake up that we realize how things are actually strange. Let me ask you a question, you, you never really remember the beginning of a dream do you? You always wind up right in the middle of what's going on.

except that sailing on Sailonline is free.... unlike other virtual sailing games of a lesser sophistication where it is "pay to play to win!"

Gimme a f&$@ing break! Should I happen to find a suitable viewing platform, shoot a little non-pro video, capture something cool (and of possible interest to more than just me), I can't shoot it up to YouTube??? Maybe Larry needs to get back on SAYONARA and find his b*#ls and get a little reality.

It's not strange : on the last Cup, to be precise the 32nd, clothes for official were Murphy & Nye If I remembered well and not a real technical brand. I think it's a good point.

Re: How to Watch The America’s Cup In Cascais Portugal. Kinda.

Lomont8437 — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 07:17:50 -0000

The races will be close to shore and there are many vantage points along the shore to watch the races without having to buy tickets. The villege will be down in the Marina However access to it will be by pass only as I understand it. The short races will take about 20 minutes and the long races about 40 minutes. These boats can hit 35 miles per hour on the water but if the sea is rough, you will see some turn over. If you want to see the cup races come to Cascais. all the races are close to the harbor and you will be able to see most of the race. These races are with the 45 ft. cats where the final in America will be with 70 foot cats.

No worries, solo. And thanks for sticking up for me. Always glad to see blogs picking up our stories so long as they're properly credited. Not sure where YS is based, but in the US, the concept of "fair use" allows people to post excerpts - usually a few sentences but courts differ on that - if they are commenting on another's work. We appreciate when other sites republish our stuff, and part if why I make my interviews embeddable and available on a popular mainstream like justin.tv rather than on some proprietary player is so other sites can run it too in their entirety. Anyways, YS has some decent content, I check in every week or two. Cheers all.

It's a fair point, which is why the original source is linked to in the first paragraph and why the original video is embedded in the post. Most of our readers are smart enough to work out that this material originated elsewhere, but on the other hand, we have transcribed some of the video into text so that a larger audience is exposed to it.

Do we do original work. Actually more than most. This isn't the usual run of the mill cut-and-paste stuff. Thanks for the comment.

How do you get through an entire story that's about another journalist's work without once mentioning his name? Do you do ANY original work, or is it all just your comments on the work of others?

To quote Robert Towne, "when a crime can no longer contain or content itself with the past and insists on visiting the future, it's no longer a crime - it becomes a sin ..." It is truly sinful what these incompetent, arrogant "custodians of the Cup" are up to. I applaud Grant for sticking to his guns and calling them on them on the carpet. The future of one of the traditional pinnacles of sailing is at stake and so is the sport of sailing and sponsorship throughout the sport.

Of course Louis Vuitton is the Official Timekeeper for the America's Cup. We forgot. It was buried somewhere in a press release about something else and who thinks of watches when they think about Louis Vuitton?

Re: America’s Cup Web Policy More MLB than F1

YachtSponsorship — Tue, 19 Jul 2011 05:19:41 -0000

Perhaps we are wrong, though the protocol exists in black and white. Perhaps the ACEA haven't got around to amending the protocol that governs this area, or perhaps the protocol doesn't matter and a nod and a wink from the organisers is enough to allow teams not to follow the directives in this part of the rules.

If this is the case, and we are incorrect, then Emirates Team NZ would not need to bring an official protest in the manner in which they are doing.

While we are big fans of Facebook and Twitter, it is a very short-term mentality to put all your online presence in these mechanisms. Imagine if your entire web presence had been hosted on MySpace? Keeping your own site is incredibly important, which is why the ACEA want to concentrate all the traffic to theirs.

Re: America’s Cup Web Policy More MLB than F1

Isailmedia — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 12:37:17 -0000

This article is factually incorrect . As media for Team Australia This Question was brought up and where told we could keep current sites up as well as have a hosted site on Americas Cup Site .

In linking to a prominent event like the Americas cup ,can only help a team with sponsorship .
Team's also have input directly to Americas cup sites hosted they control the content not Americas Cup media , This is a tool they have provided .

Most teams still have there original sites up. Some choose to not keep them up .
Some didn't even have sites .

Also if you ever follow Team NZL its home site Not very well maintained as far as updates or for that matter, Sponsorship related information .

In this age of twitter and facebook The the home website is slowly being fazed out ,
You can reach more fans and sponsors using this medium than anywhere,

I would get a quote from Americas cup media before printing something like this you'll see im correct right ,

Re: Trash Talking the Old America’s Cup is Getting Boring.

General Public Editor — Thu, 14 Jul 2011 03:47:50 -0000

And my reply to your reply

Go ahead ask them, but I believe you have already heard their answer..Actually feel free to ask the whole fucking world what it thinks of mono hull sailing both in the olympics and the AC. but I guess you have already heard.
Ask yourself what the general public have said for years that has attributed to the demise of so many good events, ask yourself, without this change where would the ac and olympic events be going, but I know you already know the answer, ask your self, is club sailing in sabots and optis any different, is it time the Sydney to Hobart got support from pure sailing, the answer to this is onboard the start boat, gentlemen start your engines, yes it is a sham! Pity you missed my point..Lets hope the new generation can step back in time to a modern version that we havent seen for decades..

Re: Trash Talking the Old America’s Cup is Getting Boring.

YachtSponsorship — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 08:27:08 -0000

Wow. I wonder if we should ask your marketing students at the Australian School of Business what they think of a brand ambassador denigrating the heritage of that brand in order to reinvent it for a new audience.

There is no doubt that match racing a multihull can be done - the last America's Cup proves it quite well, but to date, that is not the attributes that have been promoted by the ACEA and ACRM. Instead, time-trials have been proposed as part of the event format and the media and fans are being fed on a diet of speed and addrenalin.

There's nothing wrong with that, but to write off the last 150+ years as a sham or somehow against the intention of the America's Cup shows contempt for generations of sailors including many who are competing this time around.

You make a compelling argument for match racing in multi-hulls, it's just a shame you missed the point of the article.

Re: Trash Talking the Old America’s Cup is Getting Boring.

General Public Editor — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 06:17:31 -0000

You are the one that is a hipocript, by continously slagging all what is good about multihull sailing.
You say speed and technoligy over match racing and skill, for the last fucken time you CAN match race a multihull and it DOES require skill, it is just done at a much faster speed, and anytime you want to go head to head with me on equal length mono hull verses multihull, i will easily own you just in pre rece dial up, you will find yourself doing so fucken many penalty turns the crowd will get dizzy, and there`s not a tactic you can use on a mono hull that could defend yourself from the awsome power, speed and agility of a multihull. Sure my tack might take about 1.5 seconds longer but i will be tacking at 3 to 5 times your speed, lets time just how fucking long it takes you to go around a mark at 5 knots verses 20 on a multi, now lets compare a jibe, the problem is the mono hull AC was a sham and those vessels displayed absolutey nothing for what the AC was intended and any backwood country could had entered a hobie and beaten them! Now piss off!

Enjoyed your article on wind energy sponsors, and agree with you that with international platforms, the B2B nature of their business, the focus on technological innovation, and the use of physics instead of fossil fuels for propulsion make wind energy developers and yacht racing an ideal pairing.

You are right about the Audi Med Cup, as there was not much public watching, for the only reason that it was not publicized. No publicity no public. Isn't this the same situation anywhere in the world? We will try harder this time, I hope.

Jorge Felner da Costa — Wed, 06 Jul 2011 08:09:02 -0000

Dear ignorant. Cascais has almost 200,000 inhabitants and Portugal is far from collapse. You should learn more about a very old country, with the longest fix frontiers in the world, before you start talking nonsence about it.
