Emirates Team New Zealand completed their second day out on the America’s Cup racecourse today in what skipper Dean Barker described as “a really good day.”
It was a typical San Francisco day on the water with up to 22 knots of wind at times and plenty of boats all getting a close up view of the three AC72′s foiling around the bay.
The team was on the water for a good four hours running through a series of start drills and practice racing all with the aim of refining crew work and getting used to sailing the AC72 in the confines of the race course and learning the quirks of wind and current on the bay.
A content Dean Barker concluded, “There was a little bit of getting used to the conditions again but all in all it was a really positive way to end a great week for the team.”
