ScottiE 174 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Some great comments by Murray Jones in the paper this morning - having not heard from him all campaign - love it! Here's a sneak peak at one of the new buttons to be installed at Andy Maloney's staion Quote Link to post Share on other sites
erice 732 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 he left oracle last round and was only recently picked up by etnz specifically to help crew work + pete's starts "They were slightly slower than us. It sort of looked worse than it actually was, because I don't think they were sailing very well, so it made it look like they were slower than they actually were," said Jones. "I don't expect them to look like a different team. They've been sailing like this for months, years really, so I can't see them making any major changes this week."

ScottiE 174 Posted June 21, 2017 Author Share Posted June 21, 2017 and this Jones said the lesser-talked about advantage of this system is that it allows for a better division of labour on board. "We have Pete [burling], Glenn [Ashby], Blair [Tuke] and Andy [Maloney] each with different responsibilities." "Oh sh*t Slinger - they got 4 guys pushin' buttone now - how you gonna compete with that!" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
