Jimmy Spithill: Luna Rossa co-helmsman reflects on America's Cup loss

Talk of key Team New Zealand personnel getting raided for the 37th America's Cup could prove unfounded.
The government has pledged $5 million to retain key sailors and designers in the interim, as long as the holders commit to racing the next event on home waters.
Luna Rossa co-helmsman Jimmy Spithill told Mike Hosking it'll take more than money to shift Peter Burling and Blair Tuke.
"You really see they have an attachment to New Zealand.
"Their purpose of trying to use this platform to identify their nature and the oceans, in a lot of ways it reminds me of Peter Blake.”
