Terry Hutchinson, USA, Tactician Quantum Racing:
"I think one of our strengths is we sail the boat, from a trim perspective and with Ed driving, we sail the boat really well in the hard spots and that is a strength. We are going well. Jordi and my developing relationship is getting better. He is cutting me some slack in certain situations and that is becoming a strength which is really good.
"He is strong minded, has a gold medal and is no slouch. He is very very good and could be doing my job equally well so it is a case of developing that relationship with each other. His instinct was really really good this week. Part of the developing relationship is trusting him with those calls. And trust each other. And when it hasn’t worked out we have had a thorough enough discussion that we know why.”

Chris Larson, USA, Tactician Gladiator:
“Quite honestly we had a pretty good day and they did what they had to do. We were second in the first race and second at the weather mark in the second race, we got off the line and gave them a bit of a run, we can’t complain it was a good day for us, solid.
"A few new changes on the boat have helped things out and Tony is getting better and better with each event. And the lighter weather helps a little bit so we have a small advantage there. But its a team effort and its getting better as a package and our performance is showing."

Jonny Goldsberry, USA, Strategist, Interlodge:
“It is pretty much just like the last event in that everyday we worked better as a team, got tighter and stronger and today we pulled off a couple of top fives which we are all pretty proud of and kind of kept the wheels on the bus as we call it. Everything is getting better for us and Manouch has got a lot stronger and confident at driving and the sails, crew work were all better. Its challenging with all the ups and downs on the racecourse, lefts and rights and pressure changes. Once the jib trimmer and the main trimmer and the runners were all in timing everything worked really well, we finally locked it in today.”
