Dalton backs Ainslie move
Team New Zealand boss Grant Dalton is miffed by suggestions that double Olympic gold medallist Ben Ainslie is unhappy with his role in the syndicate.
Ainslie has chosen to forfeit his position as strategist on the race boat in favour of developing his skills as a helmsman on the B boat - a position he shares with New Zealander Kelvin Harrap.
It is a move that seems to have surprised some sectors of the British media, who are now sceptical about whether Ainslie is happy at Team New Zealand.
It has even been implied that he may now wish he had followed the same path as his good mate Iain Percy, who is the skipper and helmsman of the low-budget and less-fancied Italian syndicate +39.
