Food for Thought
It's Sunday in Auckland. The thoughts are a bit disjointed. But chew on these

Shake-up for the next Cup?
Already the talk is that if Ernesto Bertarelli wins the America's Cup he will turn it on its head. Frankly I find that hard to believe

Up Front
Straining to read leaves in the America's Cup? Let's catch the mood in the Alinghi camp.

Fragile
Time to re-write Team New Zealand's Dave Dobbyn theme song 'Loyal'? Would 'Fragile' be more appropriate ?

Coutts v Barker: grudge match?
Not in the eyes of the two skippers contesting the 31st America's Cup. The only antipathy seems to be the eyes of the old Team New Zealand backers and trustees plus the more extreme elements of public opinion.

Coutts, Butterworth and Team New Zealand – the spat continues, part 2

It's a people thing
"You can't second guess with hindsight what things we might have done differently," said the world's fifth richest man

Heart of the matter
As soon as the wind climbs into the 13s, 14s, 15s and both yachts start to throw a bit of Hauraki Gulf spray with their bows, then Alinghi appears to have a telling performance edge
Tim Jeffery, 17 January 2003

Seeing red?
There are two red boats in Auckland. Are they a metaphor or a genuine explanation of what seems to be a lopsided Louis Vuitton Cup final in which Alinghi has Oracle BMW on the ropes?
Tim Jeffery, 14 January 2003

The ugly side of the Cup
The America's Cup can do without this and, most assuredly, so can the Alinghi team members who have received menacing letters
Tim Jeffery, 8 January 2003

Deed of gift debate
Back in 1851, America was described as a sparrow-hawk amongst pigeons. Current goings-on in Auckland and at the Attorney General's office of New York state will have the same mortifying effect

Cayard and the Cup
He may not be competing this time, but how does he see this event
Tim Jeffery, 22 December 2002

Second skin
Word is out on Team New Zealand's secret weapon
Tim Jeffery, 16 December 2002

Coutts – the man of the moment
By default, unthinkingly almost, Alinghi was installed as a Louis Vuitton Cup favourite from the outset. The reason was the Coutts factor

No winners in the OneWorld verdict
The issues raised at the Panel's hearings over the weekend have got muddled in the background noise of this long-running saga
Tim Jeffery, 10 December 2002

The Big Weekend
OneWorld's big weekend. Yet in a sense it is the America's Cup that is on trial just as much as the Seattle syndicate.
Tim Jeffery, 7 December 2002

Last hurrah for DC?
Farewell to DC and JB: that's Dennis Conner and Jesper Bank
Tim Jeffery, 30 November 2002

Desperate moves made by desperate people
Is the latest attempt to have the Seattle team brought to book for allegedly using the design materials of other teams a sign of desperation?
Tim Jeffery, 26 November 2002

Kill or be killed
The repecharge has brought a delicious uncertainty to the racing

Goodbye GBR
Britain's elimination has robbed the competition of any chance of seeing just what GBR78 had below of skirt. Well, seeing how it performed at any rate
Tim Jeffery, 19 November 2002

Oracle's turn around
Larry Ellison's team have gone from struggling to win a race to struggleing to lose one - how?

Next instalment in the soap opera
All soap operas have their homes. Eastenders has Albert Square. Neighbours has Ramsay Street. And the America's Cup has Halsey Street, where the teams are located in the Viaduct Harbour.

Arrivederci Onorato
No one could mistake Vincenzo Onorato for General Patton, but he has consistently uttered the familiar refrain: I will be back
Tim Jeffery, 8 November 2002

Whither Dennis?
Dennis Conner overlooked? Surely not. But this is the point: Stars & Stripes has done nothing remarkable...
Tim Jeffery, 4 November 2002

Early end game
This isn't quite the end of the Round Robin 2 but you can see the shape from here
Tim Jeffery, 1 November 2002

Breezing through the races?
You can reduce all sport to numbers. They say figures don't lie - batting averages, fastest laps, goal difference, you name it
Tim Jeffery, 28 October 2002

Holmberg under the axe
Dennis Conner warned us. He said the billionaires were only used to winning

Radical moves at Prada
"Do we want to be in this situation? No. Are we slower than we need to be? Absolutely? Do we have the resources to keep going? Absolutely." So says Laurent Esquier, the man at the centre of the Prada maelstrom

The Larry Question
Meet the men who are now comfortable in their own skins: Peter Holmberg and John Cutler

Over to you Andy
Sometimes change for change's sake does the trick, but not often. There again, doing nothing is not an attractive option either

Louis Vuitton Cup – Round Robin 1
The America's Cup is a technology race every bit as much as a boat race writes Tim Jeffery
