America’s Cup – Barcelona counts down to sailing’s most prestigious regatta

Not your typical Sunday regatta – think Formula 1 on water – the America's Cup is coming to Barcelona. Cillian Shields chats to event CEO Grant Dalton of defending champions Emirates Team New Zealand. Enrico Voltolini and Francesco Bruni from Italy's Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli team and Stephan Kandler and Quentin Delapierre from France's Orient Express team tell Emma Monrós how their preparations are going. Gerard Escaich Folch joins Cillian to sample the atmosphere at the first preliminary regatta in Vilanova i la Geltrú. This week's Catalan phrase is 'amb bona mar tothom és mariner' – 'in fair seas everyone is a sailor'. Presented by Lorcan Doherty.
