Currently 4-2 to Team New Zealand vs Desafio Español in Louis Vuitton semi-final A. In the other semi, Luna Rossa has beaten Oracle 5-1 in their best of 9.

So hopefully we'll be joining them in the final in June, win that, and then topple Alinghi for the Cup itself...

First All Black test of the season is this weekend, vs France.

And the Louis Vuitton Cup final best-of-nine-races between Luna Rossa and Team New Zealand starts very soon.

It's yachting, by the way.

And yes, Louis Vuitton is a brand...

Wow Bextra, yeah haven't seen you here in ages! Didn't see the thing on the news - what news was it? I bet NZ news but since the prog originated here in UK am still curious!

On the America's Cup, I was in Valencia in February as one of my best friends lives there. I have to say it was absolutely amazing what they have done to the harbour, they have completely regenerated the whole area and completely restructured the shape of the harbour was what they did! It is so beautiful and it was amazing to see all the teams and their yachts. I'm no expert about sailing/boat sports I have to say but it was still amazing to see the teams training.
