James McOnie

Maybe he's an asset to the ACC is what I'm saying.

Because sometimes Lee Hart, I mean, actually, Lee Hart with his accreditation, I don't know whether it helped.

I mean, he went out on the drinks trolley and it really pissed off Brian Waddle and a few others, didn't it?

That's all.

All I say is national treasure.

Yeah, absolute national treasure.

I think Russell, it's awkward for him because in his mind he's probably thinking, I'm just a professional sailor and I do whatever I can to win and to make the most money and all that sort of stuff.

And

That Swiss money must have been fricking crazy, right?

Oh, hell yeah.

That Alingi money.

Yeah.

And even back then, when he got the Alingi money, real estate was really cheap in New Zealand, so he's way richer than you think.

Oh, here we go.

Yeah.

And he also owns this incredible place halfway up the Crown Range with its own golf course.

I mean, obviously, that would have been the name if we ACC'd that shit.

I don't know.

I mean, to me, because it was such a massive national sense of pride, especially among wealthy boomers, wealthy white boomers loved America's Cup.

Oh, yeah.
