Jimmy Spithill getting a grilling at the latest America’s Cup press conference after Race 5.

Lots of questions about what Oracle will be doing in the future, is John Kostecki going to be onboard….

I think Jimmy did very well, but I think there will be a few changes come Thursdays races.

Today Emirates Team New Zealand took its AC72 out sailing on San Francisco Bay for the very first time.

It was to be a light shake down but all systems were go and so was the AC72 foiling around the bay.

Get used to the sight, it will be a frequent one over the coming months.

It was a day of drama in Naples for Emirates Team New Zealand starting with a tight match race decided by an incident at the top mark that bought the two boats together with an abrupt crash

After a great day on the water for the opening day, with Ben Ainslie and BAR making a great start to winning the Fleet racing and Match race.

Video from last day of training for Emirates Team New Zealand in Aukland on the AC72, before they pack it into containers and head for San Francisco.

Its nearly Business Time for the Americas Cup

Emirates Team New Zealand has completed its last days sailing on the AC72 in Auckland.

It’s time to pack the containers, wrap the boats and put them on a ship to San Francisco.

After one of the best days sailing in the past couple of weeks, everyone is ready to get up to San Francisco and change focus to the business end of this America’s Cup campaign.

After a dramatic few days for Emirates Team New Zealand, they have now got the  AC72 wing sail back on track as it’s hoisted again.

Interesting to hear Dalts say they only have about 10 more lifts to go!!

So finally Emirates Team New Zealand got it a bit wrong yesterday, when craning the AC72 wing into place.

The news suggest that this was wing number 1 and not the new wing number 2, but it was supposed to be number 2’s first  outing when this video was captured.

From the reports the damage is minimal taking just a day or two to repair, but more importantly there were no injuries at all, which I think is pretty impressive.
