家园 上届Alinghi队船长Russell Coutts也是新西兰人

刚才看one news,Oracle 为了下届比赛又把他签下来了。

Yachting's worst kept secret is out with BMW Oracle signing three times America's Cup winner Russell Coutts to lead their next challenge.

Billionaire owner Larry Ellison says he has signed Coutts as both skipper and chief executive.

而在我看到以下这段读者回复的时候,大笑不已。果然都是新西兰队在主宰。

the results of the next America's Cup (if it survives Bertorelli) will be; New Zeland B (Coutts) 1st, New Zealand A (New Zealand) 2nd, and New Zeland C (Alinghi) 3rd.

I'm going for Team New Zealand all the way.

其实我真的挺讨厌Alinghi的老板Bertarelli的,上届冠军他就是靠买下新西兰的船员来赢的。虽然他确实很有钱,福布斯排行前几十,还曾亲自上船参战。搜点他的资料给你看。

Bertarelli's actions during the 2007 America's Cup in Valencia, and the 2003 campaign in Auckland have attracted criticism from around the world. Specifically for the fact that the so-called "swiss" sailing team won the cup by simply purchasing key members of the New Zealand team. This has lead many people to believe that the America's cup was bought by Bertarelli as opposed to having won it in a fair sporting competition
