Buffett and America's cup
Is it me or would be it perfect to have Jimmy play at the America's cup coming up in a few years here in San Francisco? I have no idea how to make this happen so advise would be appreciated.
And It's dance with me, dance with me

Re: Buffett and America's cup
I like the idea.
I notice Jimmy didn't play Take It Back while in Australia.

Re: Buffett and America's cup
Well lets hope that Larry Ellison or Russell Coutts are Buffett fans. At least we have the dates announced for the LV Cup and the Americas Cup, and I hope I can see some of it live.

Crap. Catamarans?!?!?!?!?!? I suppose my deep and abiding love of the America's Cup has finally come to a close.

Re: Buffett and America's cup
I've been a sailor for 27 years. I've been a Buffett fan for 27 years as well. There was a time when I followed the America's Cup. The America's Cup began as a friendly competition between nations. And there was a time when mariners sailed for their countries. The problem with the America's Cup today, in my opinion, is that sailors no longer sail for their nations. They're just a bunch of hired guns. I couldn't care less about the oldest trophy in sports, and I couldn't care less whether Jimmy performs for it. It's his call. Personally, I want nothing to do with it.
Thanks for posting this. It's actually an interesting topic.

Re: Buffett and America's cup
I'm kinda there with you. Australia II was incredible....the '87 take-back was unreal. (the first one I watched!!) Then it all went to #ell. Wasn't a big fan of the IACC boats. Loved the 12-metres. Beautiful boats.

Re: Buffett and America's cup
Also as a sailor, I agree with you and Capn Bobby......the current AC is a mere shell of itself.Staredge wrote:I'm kinda there with you. Australia II was incredible....the '87 take-back was unreal.

I still can't help but stop and watch the 12 meter fleet under sail on Narragansett Bay when we visit Newport, RI each fall......so glad these lovely yachts have been preserved.

Sometimes I can only say: "There is no dumbass vaccine......"
If something or someone gets you down, just remember: "In a hundred years it all won’t matter.........."
