Peter Montgomery (broadcaster)

His work has covered many sports, but he is best known as "The Voice of the America's Cup"[1] on New Zealand and international radio and television.

The line was voted the most memorable sporting commentary moment in history by the Sunday Star Times.

[2] Montgomery was born in Kaitaia, Northland but moved with his family to Dunedin at a young age, where he attended King's High School.

After moving to Auckland in 1965, he became interested in yachting, and started sailing on various keel boats before gaining regular crew spots.

In addition to commentating and reporting on sailing regattas he has also broadcast many other sports including rowing and rugby.
