Have I got an idea for Netflix - although I'm unlikely the first to have it. The shock announcement late this week that Peter Burling was leaving Team New Zealand made me wish Netflix would take us inside the world of match racing and the America's Cup. It's got everything that's made F1 such a TV hit - big money, big personalities, big egos, big competition - with a solid dose of life-threatening risk thrown in. Who wouldn't watch it? You would, right? I don't really give a flying hoot whether the America's Cup comes back to New Zealand. I don't think a lot of Kiwis do, even if they have cherished memories of past Cups. I think we all now understand the nature of this sport. It's driven by a wealthy few, and paid for by aspirational brands. It will do whatever it needs to thrive as an event. It doesn't stop us getting behind the sailors and the incredible design teams when racing begins. But we don't feel attached in the same way we once were. But back to my point - it would make for great TV. There's always some kind of potential ‘blowup' lurking near the running of the America's Cup and Team New Zealand - location negotiations, rivalries and disputes, and fascinating characters all over it. In January, skipper Sir Ben Ainslie and INEOS chef Jim Ratcliffe suddenly split - and in the last couple of days, INEOS Britannia announced it was abandoning its challenge for the next America's Cup after failing to reach a settlement with Ainslie's team Athena Racing. Can't you just see Jimmy Spithill being the resident expert talking us through it all? What good fun! The parting of Peter Burling and Team New Zealand is probably as simple as it sounds. This is what Team New Zealand Chief Executive Grant Dalton told Ryan Bridge on Drive on Friday when he asked what happened…. AUDIO: We just ran out of time basically….. we couldn't get going… we're in new territory trying to win it for the fourth time… We got to get going.” Who knows if Burling was aware of the time constraints on him to make a decision. Dalton says money and time were issues. Burling is apparently surprised it has come to this. But they both claim to be parting on good terms, and I believe it. Burling stepped up when he was 26 with a bunch of cyclists and his trusty sidekick Blair Tuke to win the America's Cup in Bermuda. He then went on to defend it twice more. It's an incredible record for such a young athlete, and it's no surprise that in-between the four-year America's Cup cycle he's gone on to lead the Black Foils Sail GP team and set up an environmental charity. I wish him well. But once again, isn't it fascinating to watch a team do whatever they have to do to win? If you hate participation certificates, you'll love the cut throat nature of the America's Cup. Just like we do with F1. Except when it comes to Liam Lawson of course.

Eight events deep into the fourth season, Team New Zealand is vying for the top spot in SailGP. This month the race is returning once more to Lyttleton Harbour in Christchurch, giving the kiwis the home-water advantage. Peter Burling and Blair Tuke have been on the team since New Zealand sailed onto the scene in season two, and the growth they've witnessed in the scene is impressive. “It's great for our sport to have a league that's there,” Tuke told Newstalk ZB's Jack Tame. “To see then the growth of the whole SailGP brand, of the teams individually, viewership numbers all around the world... it's pretty impressive.” Last year was the first year that a leg of the competition was hosted in New Zealand and the support the team received from local fans was amazing, Burling said. “Seeing how many people down in, in Lyttleton and Christchurch, you know, got behind us, and it sold out in minutes I think.” “It was crazy.” Burling and Tuke have been sailing together since 2008 and in those sixteen years they've experienced the growth and development not only of SailGP, but of sailing as a whole. “The intensities just keep going up,” Burling said. Since every team has the same type of boat, winning comes down to the way they use it and the skill of the sailors. Mistakes are costly and events are becoming tighter, with a lot coming down to the fifth race. “Everyone's starting to push the margins harder and harder." The competition's timeframe has also aided in its growth, occurring yearly as opposed to every three or four years like the America's Cup or the Olympics. “The unique thing with the, the GP format is we get such limited time training,” Burling said. “We're having to develop the whole time during these events.” While this is great for strengthening the abilities of the racers, it makes it somewhat tricky for newcomers as they don't have the same level of experience. “Getting to grips with everything is the bit that takes time.” Burling and Tuke are co-CEOs of the team, which means they not only have to focus on growing their skills on the water, but also growing the business. “It's like any, any start-up business where yeah, it's not necessarily about those mistakes but how you learn from then, and then grow going forward,” Tuke told Tame. Their partnership extends even further than SailGP and Team NZ, the pair establishing the Live Ocean Foundation together out of their deep concern for the health of the ocean and the life within it. The charity is partnered with Team NZ, the pair seeing the platform that SailGP could be for connecting new audiences to what's happening just below the surface. It's a busy year in sailing, with SailGP, the Olympics, and the America's Cup all taking place, America's Cup occurring not long after SailGP finishes. “We're incredibly lucky as a sailing team,” Burling said. “We get to, you know, practice our trade at the really high level in two sporting competitions, essentially.” The America's Cup is kicking off in August, which means it's too early to have an idea of how it'll shake out just yet. Boat launches in April will give the first insight, Burling told Tame, but even then, you can't be sure how they'll develop over the coming months. “Keep pushing as hard as you can and hope you're faster than them and racing better at the end.” LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode of Between Two Beers we're rewinding the clock back a year to when we sat down with Blair Tuke. Tuke is one of New Zealand's most successful and best sportsmen. He's won an Olympic gold medal and two silvers, two America's Cups, six 49er World Championships and with teammate Peter Burling, was named NZ sports team of the year in 2017. In this episode we talk about his dubious hole-in-one on a par four in Arrowtown, why Tana Umaga, Christian Cullen and Dom Harvey stayed at his house when he was 10, the brutal realities of the round-the-world Ocean race, working four hours on four hours off for 23 days, his relationship with Burling, the best stories from the Olympics, the journey to the top of Team NZ, and much more. This was a really cool one that we wanted to re-share with our new listeners. We'd never met Blair before this, but he came bouncing into the studios with the most upbeat, positive, fun attitude, and really gave us everything with his thoughtful answers and willingness to share.

On this episode of Between Two Beers we talk to Dave Wood. Dave is a human performance specialist who works with some of the world's most elite athletes to make them better at their job. He is currently Israel Adesanya's breathing and mindset coach, and in a recent interview Adesanya said Wood ‘opened his eyes' to the power of breathwork. Wood is now one of the most in-demand integrated health specialists in Australasia and has worked with Blair Tuke, Ella Williams, Kai Kara France – and one of Germany's top footballers - but the story of how he got to the top might be as remarkable as his quick rise. We talk about his debilitating hip injury, the failed attempts at rehab through traditional sources - and hitting rock bottom. Then The drive, desire and success of figuring a solution out on his own – and how he started teaching it to others - while working as an intensive care paramedic. Dave doesn't normally do these types of interviews – and we feel grateful he gave us so much. We delved deep into his back story – and he was incredibly open about some of the most challenging moments in his life. He teaches stress mitigation, and being ‘calm under pressure' and some of his ‘real world' examples of what he's been through – and travel stories - will blow you away. This was a cracker ep and it's easy to see why Dave has risen to the top of his field. He's relatable, he's real, he's whip-smart and has lived one hell of a life. You'll love this one.

Ce 87e épisode de Pos. Report est consacré aux ETF26 Series, circuit de catamarans à foils dont la dernière étape de la saison, le Grand Pavois Foiling Event, a lieu du 27 septembre au 1er octobre dans le cadre du Grand Pavois de La Rochelle. Deux de nos invités y participent, Jean-Christophe Mourniac, grand spécialiste français du multicoque et skipper de Team Pro, qui a remporté toutes les courses de la saison jusqu'ici, et Matthieu Salomon, à la barre d'Entreprises du Morbihan. Et nous recevons également celui qui a repris, en début d'année, toute la partie construction et maintenance des ETF26, Pierre Picot. Ce dernier, novice dans la voile de compétition, explique pourquoi il a investi dans cet univers et en particulier dans les ETF26 qui représentent pour lui “la voile de nouvelle génération.” Ce que confirme Jean-Christophe Mourniac pour qui ce circuit, qu'il côtoie depuis 2019, a constitué “une énorme bouffée d'oxygène” : un bateau archimédien au-dessous de 8 nœuds, mais capable de dépasser les 30 nœuds au reaching, Matthieu Salomon évoquant de son côté “un bateau volant qui reste accessible”. Les deux marins détaillent les contours de leurs projets respectifs, dont le dénominateur commun est Jean-Pierre Dick, qui a lancé les bateaux ET le circuit en 2018, tous deux volant désormais de leurs propres ailes. Jean-Christophe Mourniac, qui navigue notamment avec son fils Tim, évoque un budget annuel de 150 000 euros pour un projet entièrement professionnel ; un budget que Matthieu Salomon, “en année de transition”, espère réunir la saison prochaine, lui qui est parvenu à constituer un équipage de spécialistes, avec Valentin Bellet, Gurvan Bontemps et Franck Cammas, arrivé en cours de saison. Pierre Picot parle ensuite de l'intérêt croissant des étrangers pour le circuit (cinq teams sur neuf cette saison), notamment de la part d'équipes impliquées dans la Coupe de l'America et dans SailGP. Peter Burling et Blair Tuke sont ainsi derrière l'équipe Live Ocean Racing de Liv MacKay, Ben Ainslie et Hannah Mills viennent de lancer le team Athena Pathway qui sera présent à La Rochelle, tandis que les équipes espagnole et canadienne de SailGP pourraient intégrer en 2023 un circuit qui accueillera également des Finlandais. Les ETF26 Series s'enrichiront par ailleurs dès l'année prochaine d'une V2 du catamaran à foil autorisant le réglage de l'incidence des appendices, tandis que la construction de nouveaux bateaux devrait être rapidement lancée. Désireux de continuer à développer et de faire davantage connaître le circuit, Pierre Picot, qui compte se consacrer à 100% à cette activité l'année prochaine, recherche un partenaire titre à hauteur d'une centaine de milliers d'euros. Jean-Christophe Mourniac et Matthieu Salomon se réjouissent de voir ce circuit s'internationaliser et s'ouvrir aux femmes : le premier, avec ses partenaires, a lancé cette saison Lady Team Pro, équipage 100% féminin mené par Mathilde Geron et composé notamment de… sa fille Lou. Ils évoquent ensuite la domination cette saison de Team Pro, qui tentera, à La Rochelle, de terminer la saison invaincu. Les deux marins finissent par parler de leurs autres projets : Jean-Christophe Mourniac est barreur et coach au sein de l'équipe Zoulou d'Erik Maris en GC32, il a également pris beaucoup de plaisir cet été à donner des cours de wing foil en école de voile ; Matthieu Salomon a fait de son côté partie de l'équipage de l'Ocean Fifty Primonial avec Sébastien Rogues. Quant à Pierre Picot, qui a mordu à l'univers de la voile de compétition, il se verrait bien, en plus des ETF26 Series, s'impliquer dans le management d'autres projets.

Peter Burling and Blair Tuke are never far from the action, whether it's the America's Cup, SailGP or in their environmental work, but the spotlight for this episode of Broad Reach Radio is on their Olympic sailing in the 49er. We take a look back on where it all began for one of the world's most successful partnerships, some of the challenges they faced in the early days when some wondered if they could actually realise their potential and how they went on to become so dominant. They delve into that golden period between the London and Rio Olympics, when they were virtually unbeatable, what brought them back for a crack at another Olympic medal in Tokyo and how they dealt with the impact of Covid-19 and the postponement of the Olympic Games. Pete and Blair also give an insight into two of the most dramatic races they've been involved in, the medal race at the 2019 world championships on home waters and last year's medal race at the Tokyo Olympics.
