QUOTABLE: Struggling to muster the competitive spirit

“If it had been completely down to me I wouldn’t be here now. I would have liked more time. I may have even packed in sailing altogether but it’s not just about me. There are 140 people working on Artemis and I owe it to them and their families as well, but I’m struggling to muster the competitive spirit I used to have in abundance. These boats are full-on…They’re incredibly over-powered and that means they’re always on the edge. I predicted that there would be three capsizes before the America’s Cup was over. So far we have had two. ” – Iain Percy, Artemis Racing skipper
