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
