Peter de Savary
For 131 years the New York Yacht Club has fought off all contenders for yachting's greatest prize, the America's Cup. Now a self-made millionaire, 38-year-old Peter de Savary is spending L4 million in an attempt to bring the Cup back to Britain for the first time.
Why does wresting the Cup from the Americans mean so much to him?
David Dimbleby talks to Peter de Savary at his winter base in the Bahamas, where with a 50-strong team, backed by engineering works, sail lofts and computers, he is preparing his challenge.
