It's always been a dream of mine to be involved in the America's Cup. I remember when I was a kid sailing Optimists down in Cornwall and there was a British America's Cup challenge that was training in Falmouth.

More Ben Ainslie on Wikipedia.I'm elated, just relieved it's all over.
The organization is great, I liked the sailing centre but the race conditions were very difficult. I am very happy that I could cope with the wind and win.
I want to do my best for them, and I want to want to help the team do well in 2007.
I remember seeing those boats training and thinking .
It's the next step for someone like me who has come from small boats to try to make it into the America's Cup. It's the pinnacle of big boat sailing really.
It's the best one yet - it's the fourth and it means a lot.
Day one was a bit of a disaster and to come back and win a gold after that was just unbelievable. I'm just so happy I was able to turn it around.
Ben's outright professionalism is the key to his success.
