America's Cup - Images of Emirates Team NZ two-up on the Waitemata

- Emirates Team NZ - Waitemata Harbour - March 22, 2017 Richard Gladwell www.photosport.co.nz
Emirates Team NZ were sailing on the Waitemata yesterday with just a couple of weeks left before they head for Bermuda and the 35th America's Cup.

The cycle-grinders were two per side for the trip down the harbour making the transitions from gybe to gybe very interesting - and almost imperceptible. It was the same mode they had sailed back upwind the day before. But on the way out to their training course off Browns Island - they were back in the cyclists to windward mode.

The supermaxi CQS was also out on the Waitemata yesterday - providing a nice contract to the AC50.
