Now, the former Team New Zealand skipper, turned chief executive of Oracle Team USA, is returning to his roots by offering advice to some of Otago's brightest young sailors. Sir Russell, a life member of the Ravensbourne Boating Club, learnt to sail in a P-Class on Otago Harbour. He will be back at the club tomorrow, when he lends a hand - and some words of wisdom - to young sailors at a weekend training session run by the Ravensbourne Youth Yachting Trust, which is based at the club. The young sailors would also take to the water at the helm of four new top-of-the-line O'pen Bic sailing dinghies, paid for by Sir Russell, the trust's patron. www.odt.co.nz/news/dunedin/367343/coutts-visiting-dunedin... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell_Coutts When it comes to sailing, Sir Russell Coutts has done it all - from the choppy waters of Otago Harbour to Olympic gold and the shiny silverware of the America's Cup.
