America's Cup - A lonely light weather day for Emirates Team NZ

by Sail-World.com on 2 May 2017
23/4/17- Emirates Team New Zealand sailing on Bermuda's Great Sound for the second day of testing in the lead up to the 35th America's Cup Hamish Hooper/Emirates Team NZ http://www.etnzblog.com
Emirates Team New Zealand were the only team out on the Great Sound, Bermuda - spending a lonely day in light winds.

They appeared to be testing their repaired light weather foils - the so called 'gull wing' shape. Not a lot can be seen in these videos aside from the New Zealand boat's ability to stay foil-borne for extended periods in these difficult conditions average 5-7.5kts with the odd gust to 10kts from a westerly direction according to Predictwind
