Speaker 1 (00:00):
Whether it's gum boots or rugby boots. The Country Sport
Breakfast has your covered on Gold Sport, your home of
live commentary, Barcelona.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Yes, that's where it's all happening with the America's Cup
and from overnight the British American Cup Challenge Inigos, Britannia.
Well it struck back, taking two wins in a row
overnight over defender Team New Zealand, and those wins first
win and race five in that victory was Britain's first
win in an America's Cup match for ninety years, when
(00:42):
Sir Thomas Software scored two wins in endeavor, joining us
to look at that and see what went wrong in
Team New Zealand. Chris Still morning, Chris morning, Yeah, good mate,
how about that for a record ninety years, taken ninety
years for the Brits to get a win.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Yeah, I mean when you put it und far fetched,
but a couple of good races over night and you
know the whole thing live is up.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
It does.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
Indeed, Peter Leicester, who's who's a common television commentator to
in Dixpert, He's has come out and said that Ennios
Britannia looks like a different boat, do you think.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
So now it looks like a different boat. You know,
there's a lot of a lot of positive finds there
early on, as you know, fartetches that might seem I think,
you know, I always sort of said from the start,
after after the first race that I think they've got
a strong enough package that if they they do things
(01:39):
right and and there's any mistakes made from the Keys,
that I think they could win races. But you know
those fourse sorry first first call races, the key is
really going to put a foot wrong, and and you
know the Brits are final done done, a couple of
things well night, and and maybe one or two mistakes
from the keyis and and you know, put a couple
(02:02):
of race winds on the board. So yeah, I mean,
very easy kind of if an errative continued in the
same way, it very could have easily been to the
seven nil.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
But yeah, I don't care.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
It turned up overnight and put their best foot forward
and made a couple of strong, strong plays on and
the pre starting around the racetrack and wanted termsaction the kiwis,
and yeah it cost them a couple of wins.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Yeah, I mean the first race. Let's look at that
one first off. I mean it really began with Team
New Zealand falling off the foils, and you can't afford
to do that, can you.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
No, it's it's kind of an interesting one. I mean,
you know, I watched that live and I had a
brief looking.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
At this morning and it's quite quite a bizarre sort
of situation, like I'm not ready to be sure, it's
sort of white. I made then when the priests out
there to drive over and been super aggressive, and I'm
trying to sort of sort of look the BRIT's an
appreciating in but some didn't seem like they needed to
(03:06):
jibe where they did. But yeah, fell off the boil
and obviously the rest isssory after that. Once you once
you come off with fall on those conditions, it's super
hard to get back up. So you know, that handed
the Brits their first one and maybe a little bit
of momentum, and then you know, the second race sort
of followed followed tho. I guess again, maybe a couple
(03:27):
of little bit of a little bits of luck for
the Brits, but maybe a mistake of them. And it's
the difference between wedding and losing those races fairly light hairs.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
For that first race, I believe you think the Brits
boat is better in the light air than the Kiwi boat.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
No, I think. I think if you had to, if
you had to pick a horse get away, you'd still
you'd still take the Kivy boat, and and and the
way that they've been sailing it overall as a whole,
I think is up until now, you know, you know
four now it was kind of people obviously thinking they're
a exilarly and thinking it was going to be a whitewash.
(04:04):
I think if you had to put one of the boats,
you'd take TEMI you on. But there really isn't a
huge amount to put between the two for sure, So
a lot of it's just coming down to the pre
start and how you sail the boat and not making
any mistakes. And to give the Key's credit, they've done
that really well in the first four races. And then yeah,
(04:24):
I guess Overnight maybe probably probably pretty critical with themselves
and made me one or two mistakes and a little
bit of a solid sild of luck. I've gone to Bridgeway,
So I think, you know, the good news is for
the sailing fans. You know, this is coming down to
the prestarts and how are you going to sail the
boat around the racetrack.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
And it's proving that those prestarts and who gets who
gets the best start. Really, I mean that's probably one
of the most important aspects of the race, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Yeah, I mean even more so than I guess last
except even though they're the same boats. I think just
the conditioned you know, really sort of played a huge
card in these boats and how much you know, disturbed
there they sort of get in the pre start, you know,
from from around the racetrack. So I think that's quite
(05:15):
cool as a sailing thing, you know. You see, it's
not just about it's not the faster voters a year
about hey you sailed and the technics behind it as well.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
So it's alive and well. Now with four to two
in the in the series, they get another day off today.
I guess, well, team he's going to be working on
their boat again. I mean Britannia went out on the
day off yesterday, didn't they.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Yeah, for sure. I mean they're always sort of trying
to develop and push the invelope as baruts the can
There will obviously be a lot of inputment designers on
how you can improve the boat, and there'll be feedback
for the sailors on what the performance was like from
the previous days. But yeah, I wouldn't I certainly wouldn't
panic if I was if I was a Kiwi sating
(05:59):
than right now. I still the boats definitely fast, and
you know it's just going to come down to extinction.
And the guys on board the West they don a
really good job in the first four races, and there'll
be pretty critical on themselves overnight and how they can
improve that to try and keep them mentum rolling it.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
It keeps the racing alive. Two are the best sailors
in the world going head to head. It's quite fantastic, really,
So we have to wait to win Tomorrow's rather Saturday
for the next two races.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Yeah, exactly. And I mean the probing about the format
two races a day, and obviously the conditions bearing and
I mean one way or another, you know there's going
to be at least two more days of racing. That
could go to six two or it could go to
four all you know, so that'll be very intriguing and
(06:50):
momentum and sport is a funny thing. Hopefully both the
teams have sort of got all their equipment and everything
nailed down to a tee and there's no sort of
gift out, but that could play a parton as well
moving forward. So yeah, exciting times to come.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Look forward to it. Hey, Chris, thanks for joining us
on the show this morning. Mate, Well done, No ways, mate,
Chez Chris, still joining us. But that race five victories
I mentioned at the beginning of our chap was Britain's
first win in an America's Cup match for ninety years.
So Thomas Sopworth aboard Endeavor did he invent the aupane
the Sopworth camel?
