BMW Oracle skipper Jimmy Spithill on the O'pen BIC:

During the Louis Vuitton Junior Trophy, BMW Oracle skipper Jimmy Spithill - who first sailed in the America's Cup as a teenager - was among the senior sailors encouraging the kids. He said:

'We appreciate all the people who come to see us and congratulate us with the Cup. But for us, the exciting thing is meeting the kids,' he says.

'Especially the kids sailing these great little boats. These kids are the future of world sailing. And I wouldn't be surprised if one day they're sailing boats like these, but on a bigger scale, in the America's Cup.'
