It reminds me of the canoe in Mr Hulot's Holiday...

I missed the iceberg....
I vaguely recall, when it was still a jingoistic thing, that Australia did win the America's Cup. You might mock?

Don't care enough about racing to mock it.

Did they ever salvage the yacht. Sails alone must cost a fortune?
I google and came up with 500' of water was considered prohibitive!!

Aussies [mostly] won it again in 2013, but with some help from the Kiwis that time.
Although the British media think Ben Ainslie won it on his own.

Sails did indeed cost a fortune but were considered shagged after a very short time - not worth the effort of salvage
