Is this the race that used to be the "americas cup" till a a kiwi won it some 10- 15 years ago?
and then the winner got upset because all the US "sports" broadcaster had trouble realizing that NZ wasn't Austrailia? and persisted calling him an Ozzie?-- i remember a tv shot of someone talking through gritted teeth-- obvious ready to kill a US report on the spot as the reporter asked him again was NZ a state or provance of Austrailia?
