Sail-World's Richard Gladwell interviewed Noel (Nitro) Drennan, on the Sail-World stand at the Auckland International Boat Show.

(He's called 'Nitro' after sailing on a Melbourne yacht, called Nitro, when he was young - and the name has stuck.)

A veteran of 25 Sydney Hobart races (the latest on Alfa Romeo), Drennan has just joined a very elite group who have won the Volvo Ocean Race and the America's Cup.

In this audio interview, Drennan, who was with North Sails discusses the trimming issues between the soft sail and wingsail on BMW Oracle Racing, how the sail design and trimming crew interacted, and what was required to get the hull flying on USA-17 plus much more.

This is an unedited 30 minute interview. Transcripts will be posted later.
