Yachting: Two more to leave Team New Zealand

Team New Zealand appears to have lost two more key members of its crew to the rich Swiss syndicate for the next America's Cup.

Team New Zealand trust spokesman Ralph Norris says it seems certain trimmers Simon Daubney and Warwick Fleury will join Russell Coutts and Brad Butterworth.

He says Murray Jones has also been approached by the Swiss.

However Norris says Team New Zealand has worked quickly and will have made an offer to every member of the crew by this afternoon.
