The moveis being made now so the crew could meet the 2-year residency qualification for competing in 2003. The Observer did not cite any- one confirming the approach but quoted New Zealand tactician Brad Butterworth as saying it would be “devastating” if any of his team agreed. “Tt would knock the heart of Team New Zealand,” Butterworth said, “But they would go because they had an offer they could not refuse. They are being offered two or three times what they would earn in New Zealand.” New Zealand’s Black Magic retained the America’s Cup on March1, sweeping Italy’s Prada.It was thefirst time in the 150-year history of the event no U.S. boat was in thefinals.
