America's Cup - Ben

I personally don't usually watch yachting but since it is a big thing at the moment I felt like it would be cool to watch something new. I think we deserve to be in the lead because we have a better boat, better sailers and a better heart.

For a small country like New Zealand to win something like the America's Cup, it would be a great achievement. There must be a lot of research that goes into creating the boats because of how fast they go without engines. They are completely wind powered.

If I was to be honest I would say that Dean Barker and Grant Dolton haven't accomplished a big enough achievement to get a knighthood. They have done well but being knighted is a VERY big thing.
