Hi there
Does anybody know if there is a pub in Munich where I can go to watch the America's Cup races?

Watching the America's Cup sailing races
Where to do this in Munich, suggested bars etc.
It looks like Sky has it @ 1:30 daily. Check with The Arc or Günther Murphy's. I think one of them has it.
Thanks very much!
We had a group of people call in last Saturday afternoon to watch this at The Arc.
What time / day were you particularly looking for?

The finals between Team New Zealand and Alinghi run from 23 June. Thanks for the info, will be in to watch them.
So is everybody ready to watch the first race of the America's Cup match tomorrow? Looks like it's going to be a good showdown on the water. The Swiss are racing their boat the SU100, the latest of the four America’s Cup Class yachts. We'll see how that turns out.

June 22, 2007 - Yet even with all that unprecedented interaction and opportunity for close-quarter reconnaissance, the sense of the unknown is still intact as Alinghi prepares to face Emirates Team New Zealand in a rematch of the 2003 Cup. It is clear that Alinghi's new boat, SUI 100, which will make its competitive début, is fast. Why else would the team have taken the risk of unveiling it now? But it is also clear that Team New Zealand is running a tight, impressive ship, after what the helmsman, Dean Barker, refers to as "the dark days of 2003."
No!!! Go team New Zealand!
Congratulations on the first race, Alinghi. Thirty-five seconds is a solid win. I bet skipper Brad Butterworth will be looked upon as a traitor by his opponents on the other boat right about now.

Don't worry about today's America's Cup race result, cabbagefairy. Read about this team's result from today instead. It'll cheer you up.
Yea but that's rugby and we always win

So is everybody ready to watch...
can't bear to look (maybe through my fingers over my eyes)
...although I did manage to remove my fingers from my eyes today
Congratulations to the Kiwis this time. Now it's 1 - 1 in the America's Cup series.

June 24, 2007 - Emirates Team New Zealand sailed to a 28-second victory by overtaking the Swiss yacht on the second upwind leg after the defending champions made a premature tack. The loss snapped Alinghi's unbeaten run in America's Cup finals and gave the Kiwis their first win in seven meetings against the Swiss, dating to Alinghi's 5-0 win in New Zealand four years ago.
Yeah we Kiwis did real well yesterday...lets hope we can keep gaining ground and take that cup back >down under...where it really belongs.
Would Alinghi have won in 2003 without all those Kiwis on board? If we dont win Im just going to be a big girl and learn how to cry quietly

YES!!
Must be the most exciting match ever; I have bitten off all my nails and half my fingers too.
Really starting to believe we can actually "Bring it Home"
