Ahead of this weekend's Louis Vuitton America's Cup World Series in New York, Emirates Team New Zealand trimmer Blair Tuke and crew took the chase boat out to have a first hand look at the tricky waters of the Hudson River venue for the two day regatta.
Key points of interest in the video are the amount of current in the Hudson River (visible against the channel buoys) and the lack of visible wind signs on the river.
Should be a very challenging regatta on a number of fronts.
