KEY POINTS:
TVNZ has issued a statement about why it has not employed Peter Montgomery for its coverage of the Louis Vuitton Pacific Yachting Series.
It insists its coverage is very different to that of the last America's Cup regatta in Valencia. That means it only needs the services of Martin Tasker and Peter Lester and not the veteran yachting commentator.
TVNZ has not commented on reports Peter Montgomery's involvement was vetoed by Team New Zealand boss Grant Dalton.
