AUCKLAND NEW ZEALAND April 26, 2024. Emirates Team New Zealands America's Cup Yacht Taihoro was out on the Hauraki Gulf for three hours today in ideal conditions.
No times given or allowed by Rules. AM departure between 11 and 12. Afternoons around 2 but you never find out unless you happen to be at Base and see launching. Usually out for 2 - 4 hours. All over after next Thursday.
I'm sure they have accounted for that considering they were the ones that choose the venue. These guys are complete experts and professionals in their field.And don’t forget they sailed in Barcelona last year on Te Rehutai.
Did they break something at the 6:00 mark? gets squirrely and then they stop.. that did not look planned, waving over the chase... czcams.com/video/hD-8PmOjdXE/video.htmlsi=rbDmfNN__Ebf61Y2&t=360
Smooth and steady on her wings! She's beautiful on the move.
Great comment!
I won’t say it is faster than the others but very stable and controlled. The Kiwi’s certainly know what they are doing.
How are you able to tell if it is faster, it is not in a race? Wait until Barcelona and then it will become apparent which is faster.
@@geoffhurrell8787 - He said "I won't say it is faster.."
@@geoffhurrell8787, obviously.
Looks very stable when running straight, with very little drag
What really sets her apart at this point is the smooth tacks/gybes
Good comment!
Kia ora from Sydney brother 👍💪🇳🇿😍
Thank you!
Thankyou for sharing your vid.. very nicely done..and lovely to see our boys working thru the daily list
Great comment, thank you!
Beautiful smooth sailing looking great so far
Right on!
Nice calm wind sails!!!!
They have more than one sail that can be used to suit conditions.
ETNZ nice boat. Need more speed. Well done nice job ETNZ. God bless the teams.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wait till they unleash their new foils.
There will be no holding back then!
Want to see how the British yacht goes, look's different from the other's,
Go to Americascup.com for daily reports, keeps you up to date with all teams.
Very keen to see this in person. What time do they usually head out and come back roughly?

@@airflownztravel great, thanks!
I wonder how they'll go in the rougher seas in Barcelona.
Last week they were down in the back paddock with 30kph wind in choppy seas and they handled that well

Hands up who is timing her past the bouys to work out the speed 😅?
I had thought of doing that!
To all the challengers, it won't even matter if you don't make the final
Good Sports!
Flat and protected waters, a lot of difference to the sea conditions off Barcelona!
😂😂yes they have sailed Te Rehutai in Barcelona
@@SoaaJr - Yes, I forgot about Boat 1, going to be good!
Last week they sailed in 25-30 knot winds in choppy conditions and the boat held up well.
Ho hum, bla, bla, bla………so everyone keeps saying. Personally I think that’s a non event.
@@fabmanly1070 😂is that after you watched it and felt the need to comment 😂 your too ez mate
Keep trialing keep testing
Yes, right up to next Thursday when the move to Barcelona commences!
More stable than Te Rehutai was
Probly they have more modern stabilisation gear?
You can see it is faster than all the others.
They're about to lose their defence of the cup
how can you say? different wind different sea, to many variable in play...only the competition will tell
@@mitchand9ETNz CHAMPIONS💪🏽
@@SoaaJr Not for long. American magic
@@mitchand9 😂😂thats what they all say
it will all come down to the starts, alinghi and luna rossa look equally as fast luna rossa is like a knife through butter
And reliability of all the tec gear!

They stopped once in the early part to change their headsail. Nothing out of the ordinary noted.
And these are the old foils
Yes, all the teams are not showing their latest foils.
she looks three times faster than everyone else. you agree?
She looks fast but you will have to see when she is sailing alongside a competitor!
Luna rossa è stabile uguale ma vira molto meglio ad ora .
Sounds like good news!
