NZ Sporting History: 1995 America's Cup

From Afternoons, 2:25 pm on 17 March 2022

We hear the origin story of Peter Blake's lucky red socks with legendary commentator Peter Montgomery.

Peter covered the entire 1995 campaign in San Diego, including both challenger and defender selections.

He was there when One Australia capsized and as Black Magic crossed the finish line in victory.

Jesse talks to him about the significance of that year and the impact it had on the campaigns to follow.
