Classic NZ, build a boat while the rest of the world sails past. Govt should've funded a proper marine rescue team instead of more cycle lanes.
Bit rich calling it 'processing' Auckland crash – it's been 4 months of waiting around. Hope the new boat isn't made of cardboard.
Kia kaha Black Foils! So proud of our team bouncing back. Ignore the haters!
As someone who works in marine engineering, building an F50 in 4 months is an insane effort. Props to the build crew.
ffs another article about SailGP. It's just rich people yachting, but the media acts like it's the America's Cup.
Exactly. But the media will still call it a 'national team' as if we all own shares.

nah get stuffed, it's actually impressive if you know anything about boats. But sure, keep moaning.
Hope they smash it. Always love watching the F50s fly.
go the Black Foils! 🇳🇿
Crash happened in February and they already have a new boat? Meanwhile my courier parcel is 'delayed' for 3 weeks - priorities eh.
and oranges. This is engineering, not courier service. But I get the frustration haha.
So the boat crashed and now they're back? What's the big deal, happens all the time. Wake me up when something interesting happens.
Typical media hyping this up. Boat crashes, boat fixed, move on. Meanwhile our healthcare is falling apart.
haha yeah fair, but still. Imagine if we put that kind of speed into fixing potholes.
Gotta admire the comeback story though. Four months of waiting, new boat, no excuses. Solid Kiwi grit.
cope. Not everyone has to be impressed by your boat obsession.
