Since the very first day I started at Team New Zealand I have never been particularly happy with the boat, no matter what we did to it.
It's a challenge of weather of extremes in conditions from ice to absolute unbelievable heat of the tropics and the opposition around you all of the time.
It is a bit of a case of who blinks first.
We thought it was a shark, but didn't know for sure because it was dark..
We stopped the boat and Stefano jumped in to take a look.
This is a huge boost for the Global Education Challenge and great news for the children the race will reach out to.
Getting the America's Cup back is one of the biggest issues facing New Zealand sport and industry.
A job like that is a huge challenge and as a passionate Kiwi it's hard to say no to a challenge,
the most extreme leg in terms of its contrast in weather.
I am interested but it all depends on terms and conditions.
