So, in amongst the sounds of popping corks and elated crew and family members in Bermuda, there was Grant Dalton. I have no doubt, if Spithill and Coutts had got their way, Dean Barker would've been running Team New Zealand, not Grant Dalton. Should Dalton have held his tongue when asked about Spithill... maybe, but that is not Grant Dalton. But, Grant Dalton is old school. I truly believe this, without Grant Dalton, we don't win back the America's Cup.
