Charlie McKee, tactician, Luna Rossa, on how appearances can be deceptive in match racing:
You're never as good as you look when you win, and you're never as bad as you look when you lose.
Charlie McKee on the advantages of having trained in Valencia:
Downwind we feel pretty comfortable. We've spent more time than most in Valencia and that's helping us.
Chris Dickson, skipper, BMW Oracle, on rolling the dice of decision:
There were probably 25 moments where key decisions had to be made, and I think we got 20 of them right. Emirates Team New Zealand got 21 of them right.
Chris Dickson on the benefits of hindsight:
We were happy with how it went, although we'd like to have made one more correct decision than we did.
Chris Dickson sings the praises of the leeward gate in a tight fight:
That's the joy of the leeward gate, one boat is going to be right and one boat is going to be wrong.
Iain Percy, skipper, +39, on the dangers of losing speed before the start:
It's another lesson learned. It's the same lesson I taught myself two days ago but I seem to have forgotten it.
Iain Percy, on finding himself in unfamiliar territory at the bottom of the scoreboard:
We're all fighting for scraps at the moment which we're not used to doing. We're focused on what we need to do to catch the top teams, not whether we grab a point here or there from the bottom teams.
Iain Percy, on the skipper's responsibilities of leading by example:
People who know me from before would be surprised at my level of professionalism.
