After Day 2 of the Prada America's Cup World Series in Auckland, U.S. team American Magic is at the top of the leader board but tied with Emirates Team New Zealand at three wins and one loss each. Racing continues today through Sunday.
Ken Read of North Sails is in New Zealand and joins Sail Newport on Monday, December 21 at 6 p.m. ET, for a special online presentation. It will include his insight, as a former AC skipper and one of the best sailors in the world, on the boat handling, strategy, tacking duels, penalties, and wins and losses.
The virtual Challenger Lecture Series, presented by Hinckley Yacht Services Portsmouth, RI is free and open to the public.
The event will be double-packed for sailing fans as Rich Wilson, the legendary Vendée Globe sailor will follow Ken with an update on the drama of the around-the-world race currently under way in the Indian Ocean. Brad Read of Sail Newport will emcee the presentation.
