Pre-In port Race Skippers Press Conference

It was a short and sweet press conference with no one really asking hard questions. Off the hook I would say, people are also being pretty kind to Ericcsson, though the "feeling" is more of tolerance...

Some notable quotes:

"...we have a strong team spirit" ~ Anders Lewander, Ericsson and the state of the team with the current state of affairs over the jury's decision.

"...these boats are like animals, hard boats..." ~ Kenny Read, Puma with regards to sailing the V70 in close proximity to other V70s.

"...doing the race of your dreams." ~ Ger O'Rourke, Delta Lloyd on what has motivate him to take on the challenge of a VOR campaign.

"Can't wait to start tomorrow!...hope the keel system works." ~ Andreas Hanakamp, Team Russia on racing tomorrow (he was very enthusiastic!) but they were unable to cant their keel during practice yesterday. The electronics are on the fritz!

Off to a freeze dried food tasting with Telefonica...more later!
