1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: Sunday marks the start of a big week ahead of

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: Emirates Team New Zealand as they face any Espritannia in

3
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 1: the race to retain the America's Cup. Thirteen races first

4
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 1: to seven whens. Whether plays ball first should be Sunday morning,

5
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 1: very early our time. Richard Gladwell is the Sale Sale

6
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:22,600
Speaker 1: World end Z editor. He's with us this morning. Good morning, Richard,

7
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 1: I'm very well. Thank you. Are you feeling confident?

8
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I mean, I think the thing with the

9
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:35,279
Speaker 2: Cup is it's it's always the defenders to lose. So

10
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 2: the defender has already got to screw something up to

11
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:41,160
Speaker 2: lose it. But I think you know, when you look

12
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 2: back at it, they haven't had a lot of racing

13
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:49,239
Speaker 2: against any ofs. But yeah, I mean a team Zell

14
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 2: Rook sharp and they should should be able to do it.

15
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 2: They've always had a design each over the other guys,

16
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 2: and it's just all part and parcel of the that

17
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 2: the defender does have. People look at that racing and

18
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 2: think it was already close in the Challenges series, but

19
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 2: the point they forget is that tem Zilms have another

20
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 2: three months of development on top of those guys, So

21
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 2: you know, you can certainly do a lot in there.

22
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 2: And I don't think this is going to be a

23
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 2: speed contest. I don't think there's you know, it's a

24
00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 2: race that's going to be won by super boat. But

25
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 2: I think they will have just that little little edge.

26
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: I was going to ask about speed. Should we be

27
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: worried that they didn't race at the top end speeds

28
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,360
Speaker 1: and so far in Barcelona.

29
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 2: Well, I think it's going to work against the British,

30
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 2: to be honest, because most of their racing was in

31
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 2: strong winds and the forecast for the weekend of Monday

32
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 2: is pretty light. Winds will certainly have a lighter end

33
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 2: of the lighter end of the scale. So yeah, it

34
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 2: helps us. I think you're just yeah, it's just it's

35
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 2: very to read, and I mean everyone gets super nervous

36
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 2: about it and and all that sort of thing with

37
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 2: these races are very tight. I mean the legs are

38
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 2: only about three and a half minutes long. You know,

39
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 2: it's all over very quickly. O're extending about to eight

40
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 2: legs to get to their target time, which is about

41
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:26,120
Speaker 2: twenty six minutes. But you know, you do see a

42
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 2: lot go on there.

43
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 1: Do do you think, do you think many people will watched, Richard.

44
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously the timing is terrible for here in

45
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: New Zealand, but.

46
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 2: Well, I don't know, and I think it's that is

47
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 2: really bad for New Zealand because you know, you hear

48
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 2: people now they won't get up and look at it,

49
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 2: you know, midnight or one in the morning. And the

50
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 2: other problem they've got over there, particularly when you like

51
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,839
Speaker 2: it's just I mean, I've been up working all night.

52
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 2: But the women there, they started they try having one

53
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 2: race at twelve o'clock their time, which is one o'clock

54
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 2: in the morning time. That got wiped out with these

55
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,919
Speaker 2: terrible cross seas that were there, so everyone was falling

56
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 2: off foils and they stayed around for another three hours

57
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 2: after that and then it gave it away.

58
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: See that's the thing, Richard. If you're getting up to

59
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,519
Speaker 1: watch and then you're waiting, waiting, waiting while everyone's falling over,

60
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,239
Speaker 1: you may not stay up too late. Richard, thank you
