Quotes:
Dean Barker, Skipper: “We’ve never had a clip break like that in all the sailing we have done. We will find out why. It could have been a race-ending failure. The boys dealt with it and we were straight back into the race. The boat was a little harder to sail.”
Grant Dalton, CEO/Grinder: “I was impressed with the composure on board. We have sailed together for a long time – through the Louis Vuitton Cup and the America’s Cup match in 2007 and since then. We have sailed a bit without a jib so we knew it could be done. Ray Davies did a beautiful job of picking shifts on the second beat so we managed pretty well.”
