By Guy Heveldt | NewsTalk – Wed, Oct 3, 2012 4:23 PM NZDTTeam New Zealand has reacted angrily to a decision by America's Cup organisers to abandon a team hub in San Francisco.
All team bases were to built on two piers next to each other, but that has now been scrapped with teams now required to find their own spot on the harbour.
It means Team New Zealand will now have to secure cranes, jetties and all services required to function and skipper Dean Barker says it's ridiculous because they haven't budgeted for it.
Barker says he's stunned.
