I am an Aussie,
We are just a bit higher than the canadians in our state of thinking. hmmm, maybe beer would have something to do with that though.

We still have the only America’s Cup yacht lost during a race! (AUS 35) eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh eh.
But at least this is what is said about the other oneAustralia (AUS 31):
Amongst all the competitors in the 1995 event it was widely believed that OneAustralia had more unrealized performance potential than all eight other defending and challenging syndicates

The New Zealand Goverment is looking at increasing the emigantation figures this year, so there could be a country for those 127 homeless yachties!!!
Also it makes me the highest posting kiwi with 103, just beating IanHB.

A little hard to follow John perhaps you could explain?[:-jester][:-mohawk][:-sing]
I have been reading somewhere, haven’t detirmined where though, that New Zealand is now part of Australia! so all of the ex-New Zealand people are Ozzies!
I see said the blind man to the crippled nudist who put his hands & promtly walked away.
Hi!
Sweden is a small country far north, myself writing at 60 degrees north. Campare Auckland NZ at about 45 degrees south. At 60 degrees south perhaps Invercargill on the NZ South Island is close? I dontn’t know. Probably we end up close to the Antartic. Per Capita Sweden should be second, but taken its cold climate into account Sweden is a winner.
Regards,
Booster
Come on yachtie2k4
All you ozzies are all the same, (ex english convicts). Now you want to take over NZ because we beat your Rugby team, Netball team, and also we were able to retain the America’s Cup once.
We don’t cheat to win it unlike the signwriter from Perth with his wings!!!
Auckland is only 37 south.
It cann’t be that bad up there, as I know a few Kiwi’s who have married Swedisd girls and shifted there, that with include my middle son, he gets married in Jan 2005 to a girl from Goteburg (note I left the n out)
Hey John,
at least we were the first to win it off the bloody yanks! & they were cheating as well, although it didnt help them much, they changed the weight of the keel.
And Ozzy James Spithill beat Russell Coutts at least 2 times this year.
& who cares about rugby & netball, I am all about sailing, & at the recent Youth Worlds, with 7 divisions, Hobie, Mistral Girls, Mistral Boys, Laser Girls, Laser Boys, 420 Girls, 420 Boys, our sailors beat yours in every division except for Mistral Girls & Laser Girls, Ohh damn, what a shame, we also won the 420 Boys & Girls, & came 2nd in the Laser boys, & came 3rd in the Nations trophy, with France coming 1st & Britain coming 2nd, what a shame, it seems to me that we are going a bit better than you guys in the Youth divisions, & probably a lot of other boats.

guys guys
you can say all you want about nations now. but remeber one thing. if it was not for ben lexen. you would not have the advances we have today. look at liberty , and freedom. both boats have a lot in common. now look at australia II. short fin with a very crude bulb . now we go to the iacc class. and we have a long fin and bulb. so ben lexen was a man beyond his time.
DONT KNOCK HIM
cougar
long live the cup
Optiboxes you mean RFLMAO, we have waaaaaaay better boats on the east coast, that go way faster. I heard Russell is trying to get away from the swiss, ahh i love to stir u kiwi’s up, & at least we didnt screw the america’s cup up with a dodgey boat & race against a catamaran!!!
yes wis, its all good, just a bit of trans tasman battles RFLMAO, hey John,who won the Sydney to Hobart on line honours? eh eh eh, a boat based at my yacht club YEAH, thats right, it was a Mornington boat, mmm, Skandia Wild Thing seems to ring a bell? eh eh eh. ohh and we own the Formula 18 World Cup now as well, thanks to Bundock & Ashby
Ohh, & who won the 2003 12ft Skiff Interdominians or what ever they are called? a Queensland boat!
