'Russell Coutts and Brad Butterworth - Louis Vuitton Pacific Cup'
Crosbie Lorimer
Sunday morning (NZT) the top rating SportsWorld program on Newstalk ZB ran an extended 'conversation' with BMW Oracle skipper and CEO Russell Coutts.
The long discussion touched on a number of points, including the efforts to arrange meetings and a dialog with Alinghi and Societe Nautique de Geneve, the speed that has been reached in BOR90, and his thoughts on that 'keelyacht'. Plus there are some reflections 25 years on from winning his Gold Medal in the Finn class in Long Beach.
Here we have an edited audio recording of that conversation. The full SportsWorld show can be heard by clicking hereand forward tracking to about 30 minutes into the audio.
