A catch up with the Regatta Director before racing
**Behind-the-scenes** with Iain Murray, Race Director of the America's Cup on what is looking like a 'delightful' day in Bermuda. It is currently pouring with rain and looking like a seriously tricky day of racing for the sailors and the organisers with 6-20 knots forecast from NE to SW.... Yes 180 degrees to play with... Who chose what foils? How with the weather play out? We will just have to wait and see, but as always it was great to get the Big Fella's insight, Nic :)
