Our government as well as Dubai oil money have funded much of Emirates Team New Zealand, who in 2015 essentially pushed Dean Barker to walk the plank. It would rankle should he wrest the cup as the American Magic helmsman when the Americans seemingly couldn t unearth one of their own. The racing appears fickle. One mistake and the other AC75 sails away over the horizon giving us time to dash out and mow the lawns. How weird it is in a nautical sport that when one boat bellyflops and impales itself on the water, it has no more dash than a cast ewe.
