“When

I decided

to compete

for the Cup,

everyone

said what

I needed was

a great naval

architect.

Bulls**t.

I needed

science”

Bill Koch, the self-proclaimed

“hick from Kansas”, won the 1992

America’s Cup thanks to technology

rather than sailing talent, he tells

guest editor Georgie Ainslie.

Oh, and maybe a little espionage...
