Two-time sailor of the year and iconic America’s Cup commentator Peter Lester has died aged 70. 

Lester's sailing career saw him compete in three America’s Cup campaigns as a tactician. 

He then became an expert voice on the sport from the mid-1990s and was part of the world feed team for last year's America’s Cup in Barcelona.

Broadcaster PJ Montgomery joined Piney to pay tribute.
