Re: And they make better boats than us...

Remember the British effort is intended to be a trial for challenges in future years. Winning was never expected and journalists should only 'cheer on' the home side in a discreet manner.
No nation has won America's Cup unless it made at least three successive attempts. The British have no hope: so get used to the idea.
Training it is and it is necessary.
Mr Nigel Cherie (PR man?): for goodness sake cut the bull.

If we were sailing against NZ or USA or even OZ maybe - but Sweden?

My hats off to them. If you want it badly enough etc.

But! Come on lads 'keep your chins up' and 'play with a straight bat'. We know you can do it! for the Empire - Queen and Country!
Pheep! I nearly broke out in a chorus of 'Land of hope and glory'

And they even beat us at curling. Mind you, I can't get excited about grown men scrubbing away with a broom.

Re: Teak desks!.

Teak desks - Oh yes they do. I was rafted along side a Swedish boat a couple of winters ago, here in Ålesund (Norway). The boat we had to cross, had a highly varnished teak desk and with the combination of snow and ice on the curved deck it was impossible to stand up, let alone walk across it!
