Go Team New Zealand!
Now the America’s Cup may not be Sailish’s favorite event (it’s not close), but it does have that high profile thing going for it. And the New Zealanders have proven resilient, tenacious, innovative and cool for decades. They deserve to bring the Cup back to Auckland, and there’s no fear the Kiwis will shop the event to the highest bidder. Go Team NZ!
