(1:50:15) Finishing high school, Andy chose to race in the Laser class sailboats and made his big breakthrough in 2012, when he came 3rd at the World Laser Championships. Leading into the Rio Olympics, Maloney was in a tight head-to-head battle with Sam Meech, both competing for the one spot to represent New Zealand. Three events were to decide who was going to secure their ticket to the 2016 games and unfortunately for Maloney, one day of bad decisions on the water cost him his chance. . Andy was completely devastated after spending eight years of his life fully committed to achieving his ultimate goal. Unsure what to do next, Andy needed a new challenge to work towards and he decided to set his targets on being a part of America's Cup Sailing team Emirates Team New Zealand. Willing to do anything to get his chance, Andy quickly impressed, with his sailing knowledge, relentless work ethic and being a handy cyclist. Fast-forward a year of hard graft and adding 15kgs of muscle, Maloney earned his way onto the ETNZ boat and found himself as one of the Cyclors. This unique design feature helped New Zealand lift one of sports oldest trophies and brought it home to share with the rest of New Zealand. . With the ultimate goal still to make it to the Olympics, currently, Maloney finds himself in a similar situation as he did in 2016, battling for the one spot to represent New Zealand. But this time is a little different, a new boat, now in the Finn Class, a new perspective and the competitor is his Best Man from his wedding Josh Junior. This is an unique relationship, as they have decided to share everything, from boat set ups, to race tactics and to race reviews. With the goal that whoever gets the opportunity to go to Tokyo will have the best chance of winning the Gold Medal for New Zealand. www.followthroughwithlvb.com www.innergyprobiotics.co.nz promo code 'followthrough15' www.instagram.com/followthroughwithlvb
Andy Lamont interviews Matt Andrews who started sailing on Moreton Bay with his dad as an 8 year old in the 1970’s on a Mirror dinghy followed by a 125, before moving to Balmain in Sydney and buying a Sabot before making the jump, as a 15 year old, to 16 foot skiffs. He then left school and started sail making in Sydney before moving to Denmark and talking his way into a job with North Sails and eventually making sails for 100 foot yachts. Norths moved Matt to Spain, which opened up the opportunity to make sails for the Telefonica Volvo 70 campaign, before moving to the Americas Cup sail loft in Valencia in 2007. A chance introduction with an Emirates Team NZ (ETNZ) member, led to Matt being employed by ETNZ a year later. Matt shares first hand lessons about kiwi creativity, resourcefulness and leadership he learned from his time at ETNZ. This led to his next campaign as sail maker with Ken Read’s Puma Volvo Campaign in 2008/9 and then Telefonica Team in 2011/12. Matt reflects on his time, incredible career, sailing lessons and his recent change of role to father, sail loft owner and dinghy sailor on the Tweed River in New South Wales, Australia.

From the moment Glenn Ashby won his first A-Class Cat World Title in Spain at age 18, he demonstrated an innate ability to understand the physics in play on the water and interpret them better than anyone else in his chosen class. As the winning 2017 Americas Cup skipper and wing trimmer for Emirates Team New Zealand and now Cup Defender for the next edition on Auckland Harbour, Glenn shares insights on the design evolution to the new 75-foot foiling monohull and how the return to some of the traditional elements of Americas Cup match racing such as; upwind starts, larger sailing teams and tacking duels have driven the monohull design and created this hybrid of both ‘tradition’ and ‘futuristic’ design that even a ‘catamaran purist’ could love. Glenn gets technical on the physics that drive the performance of this exciting new monohull and candidly shares his thoughts on potential speeds, likelihood of capsizes, the potential for 100% fly time and the changes to crew selection strategy with the new design.

The 7 times Volvo Ocean Race competitor and first time America's Cup winner talks about the obstacles faced by Emirates Team New Zealand on the road to Bermuda, and spends more than an hour with host Alan Block going over the plans for the next America's Cup in Auckland, NZ. They talk boat choice, venue choice, and much, much more in this long-overdue chat between to bald guys with gravelly voices. Show Notes: 00:00-10:27 Intro 11:27 Who wrote the protocol and explanation of its genesis 13:17 Off-water battles in the Bermuda Cup buildup, and obstacles thrown up by Coutts & friends 14:47 Why should challengers trust you to be more fair as organizer than the America's Cup Event Authority were to ETNZ? 15:34 “The most ridiculous stacking of the deck in modern times came from Alinghi" 15:57 How much has Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron been involved in the protocol process? 16:57 About the Cup's national NZ road show coming up 18:07 Why is it OK to take the Cup to a boat show but not a car show? 18:57 How the RNZYS will help lessen the load for Dalton and the TNZ staff. 20:57 What information did you base your decision to go to a monohull? What's the real motivation? 25:57 The density of breeze in Auckland and the frailty of the Cup cats. Dalts: "16 knots here would pull an AC50 to pieces" 26:41 On NZ's huge tech advantage in Bermuda. “For the life of me I can't figure out how all the other teams were so far behind us" 26:57 How keeping the AC50 would almost definitely guarantee another TNZ win 28:07 How many concepts are being considered for the actual boat? Are ETNZ consulting with other potential challengers besides Luna Rossa? 30:03 Does the design rule schedule mean TNZ and Luna Rossa get an unreasonable head start over other challengers? 30:57 Why can't you say whether or not the boat will lift out of the water? 31:57 Would you lose Glenn and Burling and the other speed junkie tech heads if you go to a heavier, more conventional type of boat? 32:47 Ashby's huge beard and his two months on walkabout 34:07 Dalts' motorcycle crash in the Isle of Man TT 36:02 Bicycle grinders and the openness of the AC36 design rule. "We have no intention of banning bicycles" 38:52 Box rules vs open Rules, and the element in the next AC of "one-design supplied parts”. Don't want to stop innovation in areas that can help the average yacht racer, eventually. 41:30 Clean's disappointment with the residency requirement, and Dalts explanation of what he thinks people are misunderstanding about the new nationality/residency rule. 43:24 Finding the balance between a rule that would exclude many countries and one that will help reduce the mercenary culture in the sport, and how to get teams to look to their own countrymen first for crew. 48:07 Dalts: "They commit to a team and a country rather than a worldwide circus where they're guns for hire to an owner who doesn't realize he's getting ripped off" 48:57 Surrogate boats, regatta schedules, and high entry fees for the pre-regattas. "This will allow us to create a financial pool so we don't have to be beholden to a city for funds.” Dalton says ACWS events were driven by venue fees in bad places or at bad times for sailing. “Make it great for the yachties, and the rest is easy." 52:27 With the residency requirements and lack of venue certainty right now, how does ETNZ ensure teams spend enough time in Auckland to justify the money the venue will have to spend to prepare for the Cup? 53:42 Dalts' sample schedule for Challengers. 57:12 Is the Italian Option really just Dalts holding Auckland's feet to the fire? What's with the natural disaster thing? 59:05 Two boat testing for ETNZ and no one else? How about a defender challenge? 60:58 There are ways around two-boat bans, but it might not help anyone. Dalts: "SoftBank was Oracles B boat, but they couldn't get it up to speed fast enough" 61:42 Fan questions begin: Soft sails or hard sails? Hybrids? 62:51 Limiting electronics? More PlayStation type controls? Dalts analogy for ac35: "Oracle were still a mobile phone and we were a supercomputer" 64:27 Sailhandling, stored power and the team's philosophical problem with combustion engines on AC boats. 65:37 What happened with the AC34 and 35 Facebook pages and videos? Were they stolen? 67:06 IF you can get the media back, will you publish all the video from those Cups for free to the world? 67:57 who owns the Liveline graphics system and do you intend to have them back in the mix for the worldwide audience? 69:02 Free to air distribution for AC36! 74:37 Omega time, Swiss Timing, and how am entirely new graphics system might be going into the AC46 broadcast 76:27 Entry period closes before venue announced. How is that ok? (Answer, it might not be). 77:57 What are you looking to get from Auckland and the NZ government to make the event possible? 80:01 How much will a basic, unembarassing campaign cost? "People will still spend 160 million" to try to win 81:38 Biggest sponsorship mistake made by most campaigns 82:57 Happy to see Louis Vuitton go, or will you miss them? 84:07 Burlington vs Tuke, Mark Turner's shock departure from the Volvo Ocean Race, and Dalts' picks for the 2017 VOR 86:42 Uniting the major races, World Sailing, and where the sport is headed at the pinnacle. 87:42 Exactly what they're releasing in November and how Dalts will judge whether it was the kind of technological success he hopes for. 88:47 What's by far the most read site in New Zealand (guess?), AC Anarchist Stingray gets a shoutout, and out.
Alan Block sits down in Bermuda with the legendary Aussie catamaran sailor for a half hour of fascinating subjects the day after his Kiwi team closed the Larry Ellison chapter of the America's Cup. Subjects: How his time as a kid, watching the C-Class cats on the beach near Melbourne, led to his current job. Wing development boss Steve Collie's work and their different design philosophy for wing handling. “You can't fly a plane with a piece of rope”. Why no one else copied their wing system, and how many secrets are they still guarding? How their wing trim and foil loading gave them stability without penalty, and enabled their slick maneuvers. Once and for all, were they sandbagging in the earlier rounds? “We kept our good fruit for the end” How did they balance the need to push and develop the boat with the fact that any breakage in Auckland might mean an end to their campaign? “27 hours before the first race of the America's cup was the first time we had all of our good componentry on the boat”. What was the actual speed difference between oracle and ETNZ? To what does Glenn attribute Pete's 7-1 advantage over Jimmy in the starting box? What maneuvers could they do that no one else could? In what conditions does the jib hurt boat speed, and why didn't they go bareheaded in their racing? Will wing sailed boats in the future need jibs? Why did Glenn and so many sailors take less money than other offers in order to stay on ETNZ? Just how close did ETNZ come to shutting their doors and walking away from competition? Will Glenn return with ETNZ for the next America's Cup? If Glenn was given a free hand to pick any boat for the next America's Cup, what would it look like? Did ACEA/Oracle's shenanigans provide additional motivation for ETNZ to fight their hearts out? Next for Lenny: Moths? A-Cat Worlds? Vacation?
Its just 36 hours out from the start of the 35th Americas Cup and Oracle Team USA and Emirates Team New Zealand pick up where they left off 4 years ago in San Francisco. In this episode we explore what ETNZ has to do to upset a very dominant and confident defender in Jimmy Spithill's Oracle Team USA. Will Oracles comeback from 8-1 down in 2013 come back to haunt ETNZ again or have they closed the door and moved on? We drill into the key differences between the boats and skippers, the battle of the press conference, the impact of the cyclists on sailing and exactly where Jimmy Spithill is likely to focus, to exploit weaknesses and gain advantage. With inspiration from Al Pacino and Jimmy Spithill himself, its winner takes all time in Bermuda. As Queen Victoria was told by her attendant in 1851: ”Your Majesty, there is no second place”.
