1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,000
Speaker 1: Billy. A day after the victory, the business soa of

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:04,000
Speaker 1: the America's Cup turns to the next time out of

3
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:06,800
Speaker 1: challenge of records being received of course, so what's the

4
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: time frame on the next set of details the team?

5
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:11,640
Speaker 1: You see them? Boss Grunt Dalton is with us from Barcelona.

6
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 2: Bury.

7
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: Good morning to you and congratulations.

8
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 2: Thanks Mike, and thanks for the congratulations.

9
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: And how does it feel with the team and all

10
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 1: of the talk about Ainsley You're the greatest ever and

11
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: all of that. How's that gone down?

12
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 2: Well, it's been a full day of work for the

13
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 2: guys today is you know, you would expect we would

14
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 2: straight back into it, but everybody's really, I think, really

15
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 2: relieved as much as anything. I'm incredibly proud, but relieved

16
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 2: and from sort of where I sit, this was a

17
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 2: total team effort. Now I know that's a cliche, but

18
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 2: it worked on every level and the Sailors delivered in Auckland.

19
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 2: You know they will be the first to admit they

20
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 2: weren't at their best, but here they really did. And

21
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 2: this is you know, they are up against strong teams

22
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 2: and you know they smashed it out of a park.

23
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 2: I'll be proud of them.

24
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: When you say strong teams. The results wouldn't indicate that.

25
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 1: So is there something going on that you know about

26
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: that we don't that you know? On the wa seven

27
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: twos are thrashing.

28
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 2: Well, if you look at the deltas in terms of

29
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 2: up wind speed, you know, we get all the all

30
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 2: the data, and we compare the data and we look

31
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 2: at the attacking speeds and you build angles and the

32
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 2: whole bit between us and any of us. There was

33
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 2: almost nothing in it. And in certain conditions when they

34
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 2: won those two races, when there were waves, you know,

35
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 2: you'd argue they were a little bit quicker at times,

36
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 2: and certainly down wind they were always as far so

37
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 2: you've got to string the race together. I mean, you

38
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 2: can have two cars that are exactly the same race cars,

39
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 2: that one will be better because the drivers are better.

40
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 2: And I think in the end, two organizations, two boats

41
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 2: that weren't dissimilar. Probably we had an edge at times,

42
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 2: but then the guys had the guys had to put

43
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 2: it on the water, you know. I mean, it's already

44
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 2: well to have a quick boat, it's going to salt

45
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 2: well at this level, I mean the top of the

46
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 2: food chain, and they really did peak Nathan the the

47
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 2: cyclist Tuky Andy, the coaches with Joshi and Ray. I mean,

48
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 2: they really really did a good job.

49
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 1: Where are you at? We'll have the usual post America's

50
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 1: Cup conversation, now have you locked the team down? Are

51
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: you locking the team down? What are you doing with

52
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 1: all of that?

53
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 2: Well, nothing yet, just afterwards, but there's the conversations that

54
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 2: will happen pretty quickly. I think the thing is that

55
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 2: a team that wins almost needs to be more brutal

56
00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,799
Speaker 2: on itself than a team that loses, because they're bes

57
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 2: And I know after Auckland, we did a very very

58
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 2: thorough review and you know, ask ourselves the question, we've

59
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 2: just lost this America's Cup. Why did we lose it?

60
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 2: And we've got to ask ourselves the same question as

61
00:02:55,720 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 2: an organization, we've just lost the next one. Why. You

62
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 2: have to come up with the right answers because you've

63
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 2: got to make decisions. So I think the easiest way

64
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 2: to put it is the decisions that are made in

65
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 2: the next six months will be the winning and the

66
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 2: losing of the next America's Cup. And that's the same

67
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 2: for every team. You make your decisions now, and you

68
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 2: better get them right.

69
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 1: So in making those decisions, who's making them in terms

70
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: of the other countries. You need more competitors, don't you.

71
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 2: Well, there's two arguments to that side. You could have

72
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 2: a league which has ten boats and they're all pretty

73
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 2: much the same and everybody has a lovely time, but

74
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 2: that's what it is. It's a league. Or you can

75
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 2: have the America's Cup. I mean a league being the

76
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 2: Premiership or any league in any country at any sport.

77
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 2: Or you can have the top of the food chain.

78
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 2: You can have the highest technology, the best of the best,

79
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 2: and that's not for everybody. So there's two schools afford

80
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 2: to how the America's Cup should be formed going forward.

81
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 2: My personal feeling is not for everybody. It is only

82
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 2: for those that can deal with the technology, deal with

83
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 2: the intricacies of the team dynamics which are so big

84
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 2: and have the right people. So maybe another entry, but

85
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 2: I don't see more than another one. I never have

86
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 2: seen this as a teen team game.

87
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 1: Would you do you have a sense of whether those

88
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: who turned up this time will be back for another goal?

89
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 2: Yes? I do, and I think without exception they all

90
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 2: will be. We're sort of aware of another one in

91
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 2: the wings. It's up to them. But you know there's

92
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 2: a long way to go yet. There's no protocol, there's

93
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 2: no entry date, there's no venue, there's no nothing. We

94
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 2: just got through yesterday or exhaled loudly and got through

95
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 2: last night, and we'll start to think about it whuture

96
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 2: pretty much straight away. Well today we started.

97
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 1: Now the challenger of record, assuming it's Britain, is it

98
00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: aenios in that sense or is it just the British.

99
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 2: Well, it's a yacht club regatta, remember, so it's the

100
00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 2: Royal New zeal On Yacht Squadron. And yes it is

101
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 2: ayous as such or the British team, but it's a

102
00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 2: yacht club regatta. Yacht club has been challenged by the

103
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 2: Rayal Yacht Squadron. So we've accepted that challenge and that

104
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 2: happens as you cross the finish line. But that's done.

105
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 2: The next job for that is to write kind of

106
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 2: engagement in terms of what we believe, because we discuss

107
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 2: all this that we believe, certain things that we agree

108
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 2: on like nationality, like cost restriction, things like the class

109
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 2: of boat, and then form a protocol. And that's quite

110
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 2: a long process because I keep reading about how this

111
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 2: is always totally slanted to the defender, because the defender

112
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 2: writes the rules. It's not it is slanted, but it's

113
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 2: not a complete whitewash in that respect, because you form

114
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 2: that agreement with your challenge of record, and that was

115
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 2: in us or the team and will be the team

116
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 2: this time as well, and.

117
00:05:58,520 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 1: The chances of it being in New z.

118
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I mean, obviously I'm starting to get asked

119
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 2: that question, and I think it's simple way to answer

120
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 2: it is this. It is not off off the table.

121
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 2: It has never been off the table. We never went

122
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 2: away because the only reason we left was to do

123
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 2: what exactly just happened, to keep an amazing team together

124
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 2: and to win. So if that amazing team can be

125
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 2: kept together and we believe that we can win, and

126
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 2: we can put a viable of the end at home,

127
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 2: we're coming home.

128
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 1: The chances, as you said here right now, hand on

129
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: a what.

130
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 2: I haven't got a clue, I mean, to be fair

131
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 2: to use it on. I've heard nothing, not a dicky bird,

132
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 2: not a boot. So I actually have no I can't

133
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 2: actually answer that even with my hand on my heart,

134
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 2: because i've heard anything.

135
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: Okay, right, go I make catch up some Grunt Dalton

136
