AMEX Cup Village

Dockside, the Official Magazine of the AMEX Cup Village is on sale now!

Navigate your way around the nautical maze of boats, races, people and parties with the most entertaining and informative magazine on the market. Dockside is not a sailing manual but a lifestyle approach to the world’s most prestigious trophy – and it’s yours for $19.95.

Dockside is a magazine for every person. Informative, with all the regatta essentials, Dockside was created around the belief that the America’s Cup is, ultimately, a fun event.

When the teams are racing for the Cup on the water, with all the sporting fervour they can muster, spectators and armchair viewers are drawn in by the powerful emotions of imminent victory or defeat. Off the water, the AMEX Cup Village continues the emotive atmosphere for everyone – winners and losers, casual by-passers and avid fans. Dockside, examines what’s happening on both sides of the fence.

Stories such as Girl Power by Louise Wallace, or a Day in the Life of a Professional Sailor by Cal Wilson, or Rockstars by Suzanne McFadden, are human interest articles that are based around the Americas’ Cup but draw on the interesting fringe elements.

And, if you don’t fall off your seat laughing at Kerre Woodham’s story on superyachts then there’s something very wrong with your funny bone.
Restaurant reviews by Sarah-Kate Lynch, a nightlife guide by IceTv, God’s zone by Gary McCormick, plus other stories, provide a look at the big picture – bringing the Kiwi culture to the spotlight while New Zealand is centre stage.

Dockside has purposely used non-sailing media as evidence that you don’t have to be a sailor, or even own any boat shoes, to enjoy the America’s Cup. This is an event to be enjoyed by everyone. Dockside brings it all to you in a stunning souvenir magazine that you’ll keep for years to come.

Gordon Campbell: On the Sony cyber attack

Given the layers of meta-irony involved, the saga of the Sony cyber attack seemed at the outset more like a snarky European art film than a popcorn entry at the multiplex.

Yet now with (a) President Barack Obama weighing in on the side of artistic freedom and calling for the US to make a ‘proportionate response’quickly followed by (b) North Korea’s entire Internet service going down, and with both these events being followed by (c) Sony deciding to backtrack and release The Interview film that had made it a target for the dastardly North Koreans in the first place, then ay caramba…the whole world will now be watching how this affair pans out.
