Friday 11th May, 2007. This week we talk to Canada’s Curtis Blewitt from the Alinghi team, as he tells us about waiting for the challenger to emerge and what makes an America’s Cup sailor. We hear from the Shosholoza Team as the first South African campaign comes to a close in Valencia and we talk to the American tactician Dee Smith on his work in the Cup and his plans for the future.
