Sail-World's New Zealand and America's Cup Editor, Richard Gladwell, appeared in a live studio interview on the Paul Henry Show - www.paulhenry.co.nz - which is broadcast live on three platforms - Television, Radio and the Internet.

In the latest part of the Team New Zealand saga, it was revealed on Monday the Chairman of the Emirates Team NZ board, Keith Turner, has resigned, saying he wasn't able to dedicate enough time to the role.

The team say they're now assessing their governance requirements for the future, as they battle for sponsorship after the Government confirmed it would not be investing in the next campaign.

To discuss what all this means and what the future holds for the team, yachting commentator and America's Cup editor for Sail-World.com Richard Gladwell joined Paul Henry this morning.

Gladwell believes 'he has gone for the reasons he has said. It's a huge commitment to travel from Tauranga and he probably underestimated the time involved.

'They still have got four good directors there, they will just have to put another one in and decide who is going to be chairman. They will have to get some funding from somewhere else to step in what the Government was going to put Click here to watch the full interview with Richard Gladwell.
