In this 2nd of the 2-part episode we continue to talk to Peter Montgomery, respected internationally as the voice of New Zealand Yachting after personally commentating on 12 Americas Cups, 9 Olympic Games and every Whitbread and Volvo around the world races to date. If you missed Episode 6, I recommend you listen to it before this episode. Peter shares personal insights into his 40 year career in broadcasting, how the Americas Cup sailing has changed, thoughts on some of the big personalities that drive the international yachting and why commentating will never be the same again.  Peters reputation for colourful commentary that enhances sailing for the layman, helped develop a nations passion for sailing, through both the Americas Cup and Whitbread/Volvo Round the World Campaigns that New Zealand has been heavily involved in since the early 1980's. This candid discussion with one of New Zealand's greatest ever sailing broadcasters is a unique opportunity to understand what inspired Peter Montgomery to approach the task with such energy and passion.
