Emirates Team New Zealand

15/2/17- Emirates Team New Zealand sail their America's Cup Class race boat for the second day in Auckland New Zealand

It’s Not Just About The Bikes

Much has been made of the new cycle grinders onboard Emirates Team New Zealand’s America’s Cup catamaran, but for the team it’s also about the crew behind them.

Teasers and Tea Leaves

At the first America’s Cup World Series of 2016 in Oman, AC teams use the practice races to show where they stand in the pecking order.

The first prototype for the Kiwis has had its first successful test in Auckland and the team is confident in their training.

Race 19: A dead-even start for the final race saw the boats side by side going into the hairpin turn at the first mark, with Emirates in the favorable inside position. Barker arced gracefully downwind at nearly 50 mph, while Oracle crashed down off its foils and submerged the entire platform. On Day 1, it would’ve been the end of them, but they jumped right back on the foil (“Nice recovery boys,” said Ainslie casually) and chipped away at New Zealand’s lead. Barker was first to the leeward gate with a marginal lead, but Oracle gained at each crossing upwind, rounding the weather mark with a 500-meter lead.
