Excerpts of a Riley's long interview published toaday on the America's Cup website.

"Areva has said they will continue but the devil is always in the details. We don’t know exactly what it implies, and won’t until we know where and when it will be.

Two years would make it easier for budget, costs and logistics. We are all ready to go forward and yet really frustrated because we don’t have enough details. So we can sit here and dream and think and talk about it, but won’t know for certain until we know the date and location.

The most important thing is to have key individuals with experience that love to work together to make boats go fast and solve problems; a core group who are open, enthusiastic, willing to listen, and share ideas. There is potential in the team but we are looking outside to bring in some more people because we didn’t have that this time".
