Nice ink for our team, and for Grant "Guthrie" Davidson (NZL), our Base Operations and Logistics manager, who is featured today in the first installment of ACM's new series of stories on their website called "A Day in the Life"....

"My job entails everything from transportation and relocation of the team and its equipment to the construction of facilities at all venues where the team trains or races, including the Valencia base and its daily operation," he explains from the team base in the Port America's Cup where Davidson is overseeing the final fit-out. "I helped with finding accommodation for the team when we first arrived and coordinated moving all the equipment around, along with helping 100 or so people move halfway around the world."

Not surprisingly, with that kind of responsibility, there is no such thing as a typical day for Davidson, who just smiles and shakes his head when I ask him about it.

The entire team relies on a smooth and efficiently-run Base.

Guthrie's also pretty good when it comes to the logistics of a
barbecue.
