Fleet has made good progress towards their first cap for up Emirates Team New Zealand brought their new foil out inter sailing commission this week out on a beautifully flat hierar golf summers day with the Mercury nudging 23° and a variety of wind strength from 5 to 13 knots perfect for
The initial test of the most refined foil yet seen in this America’s Cup cycle I’m here with Peter Burling Emirates Team New Zealand have just completed day 54 in the alq on the H golf after a day of Towing y today you got the sales back
Up today what was the aim of today’s session and how did it go yeah was awesome uh summmer day down here in the hardi golf um yeah we’re just doing some more speed stuff longer straight lines just testing a few things in the foils and yeah it was really really nice day
Out there Ying about 30 minutes until the session you stopped and people from the chase boat got on board was that due to a technical issue no I don’t think so I can’t really remember it’s been a long day but um yeah no didn’t have too many issues
Today uh just kind of chatting through what we want to try with the testing schedule and um yeah so obviously stop and have a rest every now and then and um hard to focus for too long without without stopping so really fun day out there yeah fair enough following that I
Noticed you did a very long tech on Port towards W hickey Island and I noticed that you’re often peering down towards your starboard foil what are you mainly trying to observe when you do that yeah we obviously have different foils on side to side so we’re just trying to
Compare the differences um yeah subtle little details and obviously something that’s very important for the the long term is is trying to get the the fastest fores under the boat so now we’re still still pushing along trying to figure figure a few things out you are running a new
Foil on starbo um can you speak to what conditions was this foil optimized for and what the anticipated strengths of this new design oh I think all the fours have to go across the wind range um yeah un likee America’s cups of old the last two you’re foil you just get one and
It’s got to do everything so yeah for us it’s really about you know trying to cover everything well and um not have too many weaknesses so it’s pretty happy with it um I noticed you crashed down after one of your first jbes onto the new starboard foil was that simply just
Getting to used to the new foil or was it just a lack of Breeze we’re just trying different BS and pieces is obviously massively underr on the j3 there for quite a while so I was um kind of waiting till for a little while to to
Do the peel down to the two thought it was going to be a little bit windier more like it is down here up the top so yeah but all good fun and um as you said I noticed you you SWA from the j3 to the J2 um I was wondering how much
Does your own uh dirty air affect you as you come through the job is your selling out of the job yeah well normally if you do a good job you’re quite a long way front of your own gas but um yeah obviously if you get it a bit wrong and
End up a bit thin on the exit you can get close to it um must have been pretty close to it in that job but still survived and final question is there a particular type of Breeze or sea state that you’d like to sail in more of in
The lead up to Barcelona or just a bit of everything really yeah well here obviously we don’t get the the swell that we do in Barcelona very often so you whenever that comes in we try and make the most of it but yeah you’ve got to be good
Across the board and you know it’s been really nice to get some some some ligh air stuff and some more mid-range today and you we’ll put the boat back in the shed and you know keep pushing forward later in the week Oh [Applause] He
