Billy T James America's Cup Challenge
Television (Full Length) – 1986
A lot of average mums and dads at home — especially from places like Te Kuiti — tend to regard the sport of yacht racing along with soccer and men’s netball and that; but obviously, from what I’ve seen, it’s a bit rougher than that.– Presenter Billy T James
It’s just like when mum is baking a cake — it never works out if the whole family is in the kitchen. So we’ll see you in February when we return home with the cup.– A 'No Visitors' sign outside the New Zealand base
