Maureen Anderson's letter ‘Level sailing field needed' (The Weekend Sun, October 4) was very inspiring and logical. How can New Zealand compete against those US billionaires and space-age technology?
Looking back at those races, Oracle won the first two but was disqualified, then NZ won the next eight races. Then the US won the final eight.
It looks like it was a case of ‘cat and mouse' right from the beginning, as the US team was playing with NZ. The US definitely had the faster boat.
Dean Barker and his crew performed an outstanding effort. The NZ Government is already heavily in debt, so they cannot help very much, but those two recent Lotto winners, of $29 and $30 million dollars should donate $10 million each.
