Chippy 72 I was responding to the greatly increased trade/ profit announced this morning

CRAIC

In a round about way I was trying to suggest that maybe " the lucky printers & tea ladies " knew about the anouncement back then.

Chris Dickson to join Sealegs board

Yachtsman Chris Dickson has been appointed to the Sealegs board.

The company also today appointed former managing partner of KPMG in Auckland, James Hill, to the board.

Dickson was the skipper of KZ7, New Zealand's first America's Cup challenger in 1987.

He later caused outcry in New Zealand whhen he went to sail for other country's challenges.

He was skipper of the United States-backed BMW Oracle Racing at the 2007 America's Cup in Valencia, Spain.

Mr Hill is chairman of Manukau Water Ltd and is on the board of Transit NZ, Seafood Processors Ltd and other private companies.

Simon Vodanovich is retiring from the board on January 1.

Big mistake. Chris Dickson always ends up fighting.Seems to be stuck in the mentatily that to argue is strong and to co-operate is weakness. Might have to sell out of this one when the time is right.

A strange appointment, this one - perhaps the next America's Cup is going to be contested in amphibious boats!?

Record smashed.....

Let me know when it reaches that speed on land, then I'll be impressed !

[KiwiBear]

Chris might be giving ideas and influence/networking with wealthy overseas boaties. For example amphibious super yacht and America's cup tenders for one.
Might buy on weakness!

Seems that Sealegs lacked traction today:

But not today WSheridan (Jan 29th).

44 kilometres in 47 minutes, and she's over Cook Strait.
The Taupo harbourmaster, Les Porter, said on Radio NZ
they could play a part in marine rescue.

But only a one cent improvement in the SP today.

Still, with nearly 200 of the craft on order, mostly to
foreign buyers, maybe it's time is coming.
