The America's Cup has got to be one of the hardest sporting trophies in the world to win.

He also added a mention to skipper Ben Ainslie and the INEOS Britannia team: "I think they put together an incredible challenge, they pushed us the whole way, obviously we got a good jump on the leaderboard but every race felt like a real battle and they were amazing challengers."
