SHIRLEY ROBERTSON PREVIEWS THE 36TH AMERICA'S CUP PRESENTED BY PRADA PART 2

In Part 2 Robertson looks back on the PRADA Cup Challenger Selection Series with fellow broadcast commentator and one time America's Cup helm Kenny Read. The pair discuss the performance of the three Challengers, before being joined by special guest, David 'Freddie' Carr. Freddie, a one time Extreme 40 team mate of Robertson's, is the lynch pin of the INEOS TEAM UK grinding unit, and still sore from the PRADA Cup Final exit, is candid and honest as he talks about the performance of the successful defender, Luna Rossa, but also about the British team's rollercoaster Challenger Series as they bounced back from serious hardware issue heading into the regatta...: 

"It was phenomenally hard, for the design team, they realised there was a problem with what was going on with the boat, with the foils, we had a problem with what was going on with the boat and we had to figure out how to solve that problem... We then had about a week to figure out how to sail this modified boat... As soon as we put the boat back in the water, after the designers figured out the problem...we knew we were back in the game!"
