 that wasn't so hard Mozzie ! And look - no blame to the ref, the ballboy, the touch judges, the TMO, the IRB ooops I mean the Sailing Body - the Best Team won fair and square and good on them !

Moz we will have to find a much stronger word than choke to describe the boat race collapse by the weak kneed kiwis. The abs have only won one WC (we cant count this last one - that was pure daylight robbery) in their entire history and that when the Boks were not participating. The kiwis are surely not big time performers?Okay they do perform on message boards (If quantity is the criteria) and in the bathroom. (Occasional performances only - due to their attitude to hygiene). As for their cricket (and appealing to Oz cricket to support their case) the less said the better!!! Show some respect kiwis to the number 1 ranked test side in the world. The Mighty Proteas!
No spam here please kiwis!

 What is it then, they CHOKED, or lacked the winning mental strength.  The US team was there for the taking, but its hard to admit the truth when you're a Kiwi, and that has become very clear to me.






Reminds me of all the CHOKES they have had in the RWC, quite interesting

 By the way, I have no problem with Kiwis, I've met good ones where I live, the connection seems to have come from the fact that we were Southerners.

Well, Boks can't beat us at rugby so their "fans" have to turn to sailing to try and give us a hard time. Where was the South African yacht? lol

 Just Win, the South African yachting team are sitting enjoying drinks in the "no cup cupboard!" Team NZL have just walked in. Ha ha no one remembers second buddy..

I hear some funny things from the Kiwi's looking to take positives out of the race. A very common consensus is that Kiwis actually never really lost because it was Kiwi's who sorted the Oracle boat, they had kiwi's in their crew and all the rest so do Kiwi's really lose?? Ha ha well yes u do. No cup..
With that theory, did SA really lose the WC seeing as it was our ref who gifted it to NZL? Oh we must be winners too!!
I dont think I ever really congratulated you guys for throwing the most negatively talked about "circus" of a world cup to date. Largely Bryce Lawrence to thank for that. The last test match between SA and NZL in Auckland does not distil any confidence in the rest of the world that NZL is a fair place to play sport.

 In all honesty though, I real did feel for Team NZL. They must have just wanted to drown their sorrows in a bottle of rum but the could not locate a CUP! Team USA never had this problem!

Where was our yacht? Well truth to tell, I'm not sure if yachting has more traction these days....in the old days the guys who were too chicken to tackle the Atlantic winter surf became yachtsmen.

But if the Boks had a yacht, it would be built from stinkhout and yellow wood....clinker built. She'd lie low in the water with Springbok ram up front. And when the race started we'd go right through those plastic monstrosities while they were still calculating yaw angles, drift and minimum resistance.

And our okes would board the opposition before we lost 8 races in a row!

@Just_win, you would be surprised to know that at a time when all kinds of fancy high-tech multi million dollar yachts were not available and it was all down to pure sailing skills there were some very high class SA sailors in the running winning races in SA built boats. Two names come to mind, and that is why I included Mozart's post, because I am sure that he would know as well. Try Bertie Reed and Bruce Dalling. Reed was one of very few sailors in the world to have completed three single-handed circumventions of the globe. He was a special person who was also involved in a sea rescue in the Souther Ocean and was awarded South Africa's highest award for bravery. Bertie Reed

 Ceradyne: There have been some great and heroic sailors throughout history. When there was nothing but wind powered ships it took a special bread to be a sailor. Rounding the Cape of Good Hope was an act of bravery in itself.

What type of BREAD, Just Win ? The Whitbread race,  changed now to the Volvo Ocean Yacht Race indeed takes a certain type a BREED of sailor...lolz

 

which started in Alicante, Spain in October 2011 and concluded in Galway, Ireland, in July 2012, the teams were scheduled to sail over 39,000 nmi (72,000 km) of the world’s most treacherous seas via Cape Town, Abu Dhabi, Sanya, Auckland, around Cape Horn to Itajaí, Miami, Lisbon, and Lorient.

 

Sorry, I couldn't resist it...mis-spelling can create a bit of humour.
