Emirates Team NZ leaps after a foiling gybe came apart, May 9, 2017 SW
Emirates Team New Zealand turned it on again for the Practice Racing on Tuesday.

Having come close to a nosedive led capsize mid-way through Practice Session 4 as they were leaving their base in the Royal Dockyard, the Kiwi team went the other way on Tuesday, when a gybing manoeuvre came unstuck and the 15metre catamaran almost went completely airborne - as captured in this video clip and then replayed in slow motion.



While some of the team were getting a fright on the Great Sound, three of the grinders decided to try and break one of the team grinding records - Josh Junior, Guy Endean and Sam Bell.
