New Zealand struggled to find their groove with the new F50 catamaran at their SailGP debut in Bermuda. Picture; STUFF SPORTS.
New Zealand’s hurried SailGP preparations quickly caught up with them as they endured a horror start to the opening regatta in Bermuda, with skipper Peter Burling describing it as “a baptism of fire”.
The New Zealand team, headed by Burling and Blair Tuke, and crewed by fellow America’s Cup winners, were at the wrong end of the three fleet races held amongst the eight teams on Saturday (NZT).
New Zealand finished sixth, eighth, and eighth and face a massive job in the final two fleet races to be sailed on Monday to get into the Bermuda title race featuring the top two teams.
There’s a scene in the 2006 episode of
The Sopranos, ‘Luxury Lounge’, where Christopher Moltisanti randomly finds himself in a celebrity gifting suite with the actor Sir Ben Kingsley. He looks around the room, mouth agog, big brows furrowed, at all the pricey gadgets and Swiss watches being handed away for free. It’s a lot to take in. Kingsley breezes around this Aladdin’s Cave for A-listers, sweeping up swag bags, until Moltisanti stops him in his tracks and speaks for the millions of people watching at home. “How,” he asks, “is that even fucking possible?” This content is imported from YouTube.
