This morning, the Swiss defender and the New Zealand challenger, met for a press conference with the Auld Cup symbolically placed between them. The two teams showed their desire to win it. It is the hour that the whole world has been waiting for is approaching….. The Swiss still haven’t divulged their helmsman and they seem confident of their boat’s, SUI 100, performance, the Kiwis arrived looking content and serene. There was a light hearted atmosphere with lots of joking, but nothing was really brought out into the open. The press conference is mostly the occasion to take photos and see the two adversaries shake hands before the battle to the death. The real meeting will be on the water and the first ten minutes after the start will tell more than all recent discussions. The Cup starts tomorrow, Saturday, at 3:00!
