BMW ORACLE colleague...
...Richard Slater (AUS) has arrived in Valencia this week. You will have seen him blogged before on the EFB (Farr 40 Worlds in Sydney last month). Richard is our afterguard rules and tactics coach/advisor, similar to the job that Henry Menin did for us during the last campaign. Henry is now back on the Jury (he was as well in the 2000 Cup). Last go around Richard was with Alinghi. He knows how to win the Cup!
As to "Lord Rumpunch," he assumed this marvelous title by paying 28 GBP (pounds) for title to one square foot of bog in Glencairn, Scotland. This makes him a Scottish Laird, or English Lord.
"Rumpunch," well, that will be obvious to sailors who enjoy their Mount Gay Rum, but one hears the bit of bog purchase was conceived in the Caribbean, and, like so many other hair-brained schemes, in conjunction with copious consumption. Cheers!
