It may have escaped the mainstream sailing press, but Russell Coutts is singlehandedly remaking the top end of our sport. I have no doubt Russell is the main reason the America's Cup is now competed in cats instead of monohulls. Sailgroove.org has put this fascinating interview with Russell up on YouTube and I get the feeling he is not satisfied with how this sport is run.(Let me say, I like where Russell is going with this). Not surprisingly, at the moment, Russell is concentrating on the professional sailing scene but his long range plan is , one way or the other, to definitely get sailing stuck in the minds of the non-sailing public.
