Would you welcome Mr Coutts back on the black boat?
I would rather loose the cup again than win it with him. The bastard shattered my dreams and exposed the lot of them for the shallow money grubbing cads they are.... (except Peter Blake of course)
Team New Zealand? Yeah.. Right!
Takin' money orf old ladies and giving to HIM and his mates? never again!
Just chillin'
He's a true mercenary ... you get what you pay for and his results speak for themselves ... But I'm with you on this ... tell him
The way he left team NZ last time round and the consequent loss of the cup and all that went with it certainly left a sour taste ....
By the way did you hear that he might try to get another regatta up & running in NZ, he's been in talks with Paul Cayard apparently.
A man can move much faster without a millstone around his neck, so if he gets the chance to lose her he'd better drop her and run like heck !! .. (10cc "Modern Man Blues" - Deceptive Bends)

You guys are either mental or you both live under a bridge and threaten those Billy Goats kids.
If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

I think that trolling can be a great way to waste time especially if there are others that are keen to encourage us along, as you are Jim2. I love a good debate and sometimes you have stir up the natives in order to get it going ... so do you have an opinion at all are you just .....trolling ???

That was no bite!A bite !!
A bite is when someone responds to your argument. I was just pointing out that "Billy Goat's gruff" may have been a better thread title.
Time for coffee. And a sticky bun.

Fair enuff !! I've just finished my coffee ... An addict like myself is seldom without a plunger by my side .... enjoy yours ... I have enjoyed your write ups so far BTW ... I used to do that trip every year with my buddies from college on our trail bikes ... but we were so soft we only went in the summer hols !!

Hooks, you should say "The way he was screwed around by Team NZ last time". Team NZ had first dibs on him and they screwed him and Butterworth.
The people involved in yatching make more money in a year than all of NZ does.

Leave him where he is he will only dissapoint again.

At the risk of hijacking Paul's troll, uh thread, Cheers Hooks! Summer seems an eminently sensible time to enjoy that road.

Immature and proud of it.
Cunning old Bertarelli, brings in a rule preventing certain competitors from joining other syndicates, then sacks Coutts.
When you're that rich, you can afford to have your shame gene removed.
parting of the sensory
Who cares? Team NZ? Puh-leeeaze... They're not "our" team - they're a bunch of blokes making a good living doing what they want to do - a fantasy job in anyone's books. And it's not even a proper sport at that level - it's who's got the biggest bankroll.
... and that's what I think.
Or summat.
Or maybe not...
Dunno really....
toadily mad
I was as gutted by coutts and butterworth abandoning ship pardoning the pun, as everyone else, but I think that we have lost sight of the fact that yachting is a sport and these guys are for sale with their expertise, if we aren't prepared to pay them big bucks then they are within their rights to go elsewhere, just like some of our rugby and soccer players do, I think Mr Coutts should be brought back to team nz, but be given a very clear contract, we afterall don't want some other syndicate to snaffle him up do we?????
Pasta farts
I laugh at the people who are holding some kind of grudge about them shifting teams, and still carry that grudge.
Its not even a New Zealand team. Its a team created by those who can afford it, and labelled Team New Zealand because the americas cup is traditionally faught between countries, not random teams.
They left Team X because they got a better deal with Team Y. Deal with it.
Now Team Y seems to be having problems, I dont see why Team X shouldnt have him back (Unless it would clearly affect the balance of the team, yeah it would be great to have their experience there, but it does bring up issues like Who's Going To Drive).
Typical NZ attitude, shunning one of our (and the worlds) top sailors just "because".
Its like the not having nuclear powered ships in our ports issue. Just "Because".
Forum whore
Now theres a nice Auckland attitude for you...

Fair weather rider
even if he stay here last time we would have lost the cup.As team Nz black boat was a slow and didn't it break twice.yer he was a prick for going but show me the money is what he was thinking.
three can keep a secret,if two of them are dead.
