It's not just the crew, it's about design and technology.

I'm not a sailor, never been on a yacht in my life, but I love watching the americas cup, my fave sport to watch

Kiwis are the dominant nationality onboard Alinghi

barrybowls04 (December 31, 1969 at 4:59 pm)

To Nick3delve. What about Murray Jones Afterguard (NZ), Simon Daubney Upwind Trimmer (NZ), Warwick Fluery Mainsail Trimmer (NZ), Rodney Ardern Runner/Pitman (NZ), Mike Drummond Afterguard (NZ), Peter Evans Afterguard (NZ), Matt Mitchell Mid-Bow (NZ), Dean Phipps Bow (NZ), Craig Satterthwaite Grinder (NZ). ALL of these people were on the sailing team for Alinghi in the 32nd America's Cup (thats not including all the other kiwis involved with the design, weather teams and all that).

Nick3delve (December 31, 1969 at 4:59 pm)

TO BARRYBOWLS04: actually I think that the majority are far from being kiwi's i.e Alinghi team consisted of members from Germany,United States, Canada,Netherlands, France, Italy, Spain, Virgin Islands, Portugal, Turkey, Ireland, the UK (from Scotland and Wales), Belgium, South Africa, Australia, Uruguay, Argentina, Denmark, Ecuador and Switzerland. THE only kiwi's present were Coutts, tactician Brad Butterworth and Grant Simmer.
