Hot off the press: Exclusive interview with Peter Burling - Helmsman, but definitely not Skipper of Emirates Team New Zealand

MEDIA: Peter, can you please explain what was happening when you had trouble lowering the daggerboard in that last leg of race 3.

PETE: Ah yeah, well I'm pleased, you know, that the boat is going so well but we, ahhh you know, have a lot more left in the tank. Certainly I'd like to ahhh, you know, thank the shore crew.

MEDIA: Can you tell us about the damage around the dagger board that you seemed to sustain in race 3.

PETE: Ah yeah, well I'm pleased, you know, that the boat is going so well but we, ahhh you know, have a lot more left in the tank. Certainly I'd like to ahhh, you know, thank the shore crew.

MEDIA: Looking at the live feed straight after the end of racing, it appeared that Blair turned around and gave you a sloppy French Kiss. Is that right?

PETE: Ah yeah, well I'm pleased, you know, that the boat is going so well but we, ahhh you know, have a lot more left in the tank. Certainly I'd like to ahhh, you know, thank the shore crew.

MEDIA: Some media commentators are describing the situation where the other challengers are training with the defence as a mega-sized reach around. Is that how you see it?

PETE: Ah yeah, well I'm pleased, you know, that the boat is going so well but we, ahhh you know, have a lot more left in the tank. Certainly I'd like to ahhh, you know, thank the shore crew.

MEDIA: Most normal human beings perceive Jimmy and Russell as smoking Larry's cock, would that be your view?

PETE: Ah yeah, well I'm pleased, you know, that the boat is going so well but we, ahhh you know, have a lot more left in the tank. Certainly I'd like to ahhh, you know, thank the shore crew.

MEDIA: There seem to be a number of American yachting fans that are hoping ETNZ put an end to this cluster fuck by going all the way up to the elbow on Orifice. Have you noticed that attitude coming from many American's

PETE: Ah yeah, well I'm pleased, you know, that the boat is going so well but we, ahhh you know, have a lot more left in the tank. Certainly I'd like to ahhh, you know, thank the shore crew.

Well he obviously doesn't want to be there - I'm sure he's reviewed tons of Sean Fitzpatrick post match tapes to put together his very predictable play list. It's a pity we have some good speakers - Ashby, Tuke, Dalton, Ray Davies who would be more engaging and happy to talk but obviously ETNZ didn't set the rules so fuck em. Apart from the numerous Kiwi supporters over there no one else really seems to like us much ... :)

Yeah full credit to the crew and the shore team who really dug deep and made it happen.

His body language is fun to watch. Scratching, rubbing eyes, shifting in seat, eyes all over the shop. e.g. when he was asked about the VMG in today's presser. He rumbles around for a few seconds showing all the symptoms of someone who knows he's not supposed to say anything except 'for ourselves we're really happy'.

Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer. Like the media twit with 'Pete, you're sailing higher and faster upwind than Artemis, with better VMG, how are you able to do that?' Like he'd actually give a meaningful answer - 'sure let me share that for the benefit of Artemis and Oracle...'

Or the idiot who after SB lost 3 straight to Artemis going from 3-1 to 3-4 in one day, 'so Dean does this remind you of San Francisco where you were up 8-1 and lost to Oracle?' Moron.

It's not hard to see ALL the skippers would all rather not do the pressers, way more downside than up.

I disagree ... I reckon it's all part of the ploy. PB - just play the young sailor. Rumble around and keep it as generic as possible. Your job is to be as boring as possible. Make RC wish he'd got someone, anyone else involved in the press conferences.

I'd love it if he dropped in a "It was a race of two halves" and a "Full credit to the opposition" in the next presser.

Onya Pete. Just ignore the cunts. I do.

PS: Better think about some starting practice, mate. JS is out practicing and he's already pretty good at it. Just sayin.

Of course, you've got to despatch the Swedes first.
