Well this is the second time that Boat International have run a super yacht regatta at the Americas Cup.
We're really excited to be in Bermuda. We've got a fantastic fleet of 20 boats including
the biggest J-class fleet ever assembled. So we're looking forward to some fair winds,
some safe and competitive sailing to win a fantastic trophy.
This is a wonderful event. It is something that we have aspired to for many many years.
We are in awe that these wonderful yachts would love to come to Bermuda to sail
and we want to make this happen all the time. What they're bringing to Bermuda to
let all of our youth sailors in Bermuda see how professional everyone is and what boats
they can get on. We are promoting sailing to all kids in Bermuda as much as possible.
Well we've got three days of some pretty spectacular super yacht racing. It should be
something new, something Bermuda hasn't seen. You combine it with an Americas Cup of course
and it's pretty special. They're a worse place to stop off and do a little super yacht racing.
The Americas Cup should be a celebration of sail and you've got all these spectacular boats
have come into town not only enjoying the Americas Cup racing but they're
also having their own racing and enjoying the festivities themselves.
In the future there's no question that the Americas Cup super yacht
regatta is an important part of the event going forward.
Gorgeous sailing conditions in Bermuda, a beautiful place to sail, beautiful boats and
then being near the Americas Cup always makes it a lot of fun. It is a place a lot of people
knew already but now everybody on earth know where is the Bermuda Triangle.
It's been really special both watching the Americas Cup but also
in our own way being able to take part in it. That was the Americas Cup we just won wasn't it?
It's nice to win this regatta. The owner has done a fantastic job just driving the bus because
he's become a long way. He beats the other guys who are around over here.

We've been working super hard for years on this really so it's a nice one to win.
