Oracle Team USA have released a video of their AC45S sailing in Bermuda doing a slow motion tack while staying fully foiling.

Taken at close range the video shows the full sequence of the tack. Release of the video is an indication that the America's Cup Defender is confident that the other teams have mastered the feat and there is not a lot to be gained by secrecy.

Men and A Magnificent Flying Machine

Man and machine working in harmony to make our AC45S fly! #OracleTeamUSA #AmericasCup
