America's Cup audio

Iain Percy on the struggle at +39 and Dean Phipps on how it so nearly came good for Alinghi

In this audio file, +39 skipper Iain Percy talks about how they came to go right up the first beat, what happened on the final run when it all went horribly wrong and why their shore crew are going to be up late again tonight.



In this audio file Alinghi pitman Dean Phipps talks about the first day of racing in Act 13 and in particular the vagaries of racing in Valencia at this time of year, the defender's role in Act 13 and sailing in a team where you never seem to know who your skipper is.
