As well as his AC and Olympic achievements Glenn also holds the wind-powered land speed record with an incredible run of 222.4 kilometres per hour.
For the 37th America’s Cup in Barcelona last year Glen was drafted in to provide some expert punditry as part of the TV commentary team working along side Shirley Robertson and Stephen McIvor.
During the interview Glenn is quizzed him about his commentary booth experience and shares his expert breakdown of the six competing teams and the technology behind their respective boats.
