AC Store: Friend or Foe? Log-In to Post/Reply
Hi,

I would like to query if anyone has been able to purchase 33rd Cup gear from the America's Cup.com shopping site.
I attempted to order an AC cap and they do not sell to the US nor accept the US$.
I find this very negligent in promoting the AC as a world sport especially from the originating country of the AC.
Perhaps when I am in Spain this summer I might can pick one up and perhaps catch the second race. ha

On the other hand, I was able to pick up a nice jacket from BMW/Oracles shop, although their inventory is sparse.

I had trouble with that site as well. A big BOR fan I just went over to their site and paid a small fortune for a few hats for myself and crew.

Oh geez, please tell me the AC store was not purposely designed to block U.S. purchases. That would set an even lower low for the host of the 33rd Match.

One would hope not, but as Ernesto said life in the America's Cup is not easy for the Europeans, bleat bleat and at a guess he is attempting to address the balance.

Okay seriously does leopard change its spots? I cant see Ernesto doing any thing nice.
