When the America s Cup cycle rolls around memories of that campaign start flooding back to Egnot. Team New Zealand of course made history in 95 when they won the America s Cup for the first time but there was another major story line in San Diego, and Egnot was smack bang in the middle of it. From the controversy of a man being substituted on to the boat and a back room deal which saw Conner s team survive to make it to the final, the women s journey in the Cup had all the makings of a classic sports movie.
