  • NZL 32

    NZL 32, or Black Magic, is an International Americas Cup Class yacht that won the 1995 America's Cup. She beat the American defender Young America in a 5–0 victory off San Diego, California.

    Design

    NZL 32 was, in many ways, the complete opposite of her predecessor NZL 20 which contested the 1992 edition of the Louis Vuitton Cup.

    Instead of being the brainchild of one man (in the case of NZL 20, Bruce Farr) she was designed by a team of Tom Schnackenberg, Doug Peterson, Laurie Davidson, David Egan, Peter Jackson, Maury Leyland, David Alan-Williams, Anthony Lehmann, Richard Karn, Wayne Smith, Mike Drumond, Chris Mitchell and Neil Wilkinson. The idea was to produce a yacht that suited the crew, catering to their specific wants and needs. NZL 32 was built of carbon fibre by the McMullen & Wing yard, Auckland, in 1994.

    Her sister yacht, NZL 38, or Black Magic II, was used in the initial stages of the Louis Vuitton Cup in San Diego winning all but one race. However, Team New Zealand believed NZL 32 to be faster than NZL 38 and so retired her early, before the Louis Vuitton Cup semi-finals. NZL 38 became a trial horse for Team New Zealand's 2000 defence of the America's Cup in Auckland, and was purchased for the 2003 Cup by the Swedish Victory Challenge. She was eventually renamed Cristina.

    Black Magic (1949 film)

    Black Magic (also known as Cagliostro) is a 1949 film adaptation of Alexandre Dumas's novel Joseph Balsamo. It was directed by the Russian-born Gregory Ratoff and stars Orson Welles in the lead role as Joseph Balsamo (aka 18th century hypnotist, magician and scam artist Count Cagliostro) and Nancy Guild as Lorenza/Marie Antoinette. Akim Tamiroff has a featured role.

    Plot

    Alexandre Dumas, Sr. (Berry Kroeger) tells his son Alexander Dumas, Jr. (Raymond Burr) the story of Joseph Balsamo (Orson Welles). Through flashbacks we learn that Balsamo was a French gypsy boy who endured much hardship. He was tortured under the command of Viscount de Montagne (Stephen Bekassy) and his parents were ordered to hang. Some years later, he learns the secrets of hypnosis from Dr. Mesmer (Charles Goldner). Ignoring the doctor's advice that he use his powers for healing, he exploits his new talent to the full; gaining wealth, fame and prestige. After changing his name to Count Cagliostro, he becomes famous all over Europe. Things begin to go downhill when he enters a plot to substitute a young girl called Lorenza (Nancy Guild) for the French queen Marie Antoinette along with gypsies Gitano (Akim Tamiroff) and Zoraida (Valentina Cortese).

    Black Witch

    by: Exciter

    High on the mountain she called my name
    Evil woman wants to mess with my brain
    Darkness and sorcery til I die
    Stop what you're doing
    I'm just a man
    don't believe in your powers woman
    Black Witch descendant of hell
    Woman of the grave
    I'm not the man for you
    you don't take me as your slave
    At night feeling lonely cry for the only
    I would cry for the sun
    Blackwitch would take me
    dragging me under
    I don't want to go and run
    Evil ignites heat of the night
    crying out with the pain
    Blackwitch would take me
    dragging me under
    I don't wanna go insane
    Blackwitch sucking the blood
    from my heart with your evil
    Blackwitch filling my head
    with your spells til I'm dead
    Dragging me far circles and
    stars in the evil of the fight
    Blackwitch would take me
    dragging me down
    in the black of the night
    Blackwitch would take me
    blacken my eyes in the evil of her hate
    Blackwitch would take me
    dragging me under
