“The Cup will survive by getting more of the public involved. Part of the excitement is seeing the boats. Covering them up just doesn't make any sense.”
“Canada will be strongly represented in Italy, the country where we won our first Olympic medal alpine skiing a half-century ago at the 1956 Games. Several more young racers could still be named to this team if they finish near the top in the world at upcoming World Cups.”
“The women's team yesterday was a disappointment, no question, but the world competition is at a very high level, and it shows that we still have a lot of work to do.”
“I have sailed on a lot of high performance boats during the last few years, so I am familiar with them. I have been following the race very closely and am excited to take on this new challenge. I will have to rely on the team to get my learning curve up as quickly as possible.”
