After two wins moved his teams overall record to 4-0 in Act 10, Emirates Team New Zealand tactician Terry Hutchinson answered a few questions for Sailing World senior editor Stuart Streuli.A few notes about the speech. Early on Hutchinson speaks of being behind the Swedish Victory Challenge, he actually means ahead. Also it’s worth noting that Areva Challenge’s FRA-60 is well-known to the New Zealand syndicate because it started its life as NZL-60. Finally as much as Hutchinson wishes he could talk to the clouds and figure out what they’re doing during a race, he’s actually speaking to Roger “Clouds” Badham, ETNZ’s staff meterologist and first-shift wizard.
