- AUCKLAND NEW ZEALAND April 30, 2024. Emirates Team New Zealand AC75 America`s Cup Yacht Taihoro was out in the Hauraki Gulf today. It is amazing how she still manages to foil in very light wind.
Very excited for the cup start, now. Awesome tech.
Will be very interesting.
Thanks to you and Justin M getting pictures sailing from Taihoro and for ever best AC team emirates NZ.
This time Taihoro its on way to Barcelona they further testing, building and developing!
When Taihoro arrives in europe getting straight away some new presents and foils?
🙏 all thats team NZ giving Taihoro all needed she fly fast, stable and creaming loud about happyness in Barcelona!
Go kiwis fly.....
Thanks for your interesting comment.
Beautiful!
She is!
Learning to fly Taihoro takes a lot of work. They seem comfortable with their Waka design. Good signs.
Cool team of sailors!
Nice see Taihoro flying with great Rehutai foils in low wind....
The Rehutai had also great foils and was over a ton more on to lift up.
❤️ kiwis perfection and love to sports... also kiwis if living or doing some then with enthusiasm and love.... fly Taihoro fly...
What fully name of our lovely boat?
Taiporoporo is her name and she seems to glide in super low wind.
Taken from North head I take it. Very impressive. Seems like she's a real all rounder.
Yes and yes!
Thank you for the footage
Nice comment, thank you.
Looks like Taihoro has a technique for dealing with gusts, where she just raises the ride height.
So just popping up higher, or lower, as the wind strength changes.
Instead of heeling over, a higher ride height would allow more wind slippage under the hull, relieving excess pressure.
And it may also increase the righting moment too - altho someone with more maths might like to check that one out...
In high winds it looked like quite a bit of (deliberate) heel going on too?
Wing flaps can play a huge part in all this!
Fantastic 🙂
Thank you! Cheers!
Amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
Looked good foiling in those light winds but once you drop off the foils it takes a while to get back up again.
Last time in Auckland I doubt if any yacht would have gotten on to their foils in yesterdays light wind.
I thought I heard that the mast was one design? Thats not the same as the others.
"Some parts of the boat are supplied - the mast, rigging, foil-cant arms and their hydraulics are all stock components"
Not sure on that but without backstays all down force is controlled with forestay tension
Looking a nice slow high mode..
Its tested it?
🙏 emirates team NZ winning AC again and Cup coming again to NZ.
Fans of sailing loving in years next LV cup in Aotearoa again....
Where we all getting more nice pictures.
At bay of island AC and luis viton cup in auckland?
Interesting comment, thank you!
Plenty of interest concerning the foils but not much said about the rudder foil. I. It seems equally important. Do they differ much from other rival boats?
The other teams are also holding back on their new rudder foils. The only report I have seen is that the tilt gear seems to be all now above deck.
Is there any chance we can get together and catch up with Justin Mitchen as well, thank you
Probably no point as I have completed filming ETNZ as they have finished sailing Taihoro are are heading off to Barcelona.
Waitemata Harbour so beautiful
Thank you.
Nice to see them struggling for once with lower wind conditions
Low wind? There hardly any!
@@airflownztravel yeah yeah they're good don't worry, we all know it... you can be proud. Can't wait to take that cup from you though 🌙🔴
She seems heavier, not as quick to rise. However.....very steady flying when up, very good speed underway. Should be interesting
You would not believe how low the wind was. See the yacht out by the light house, just drifting with the tide!
When do they leave?
No date posted but sailing may be completed by Thursday this week.
What is Taihoro's approximate speed in this video?
She's lovely!
If the wind was down to 4 knots it would be about 16.

Thank you for this reply!
So, is 4× the prevailing winds
Taihoro's best performance?
@@mikemontagne2703 Grant Dalton mentioned the x4 factor lastvweek!
I think 4x is a factor that has been around for quite some time even going back to the ice racing yachts over 100 years ago!
@airflownztravel
Taihoro's crew will be striving for say,
×5+ ?
38 comments?? Just shows you how few people are interested in this
Only subscribers can comment. Most video uploaders find just 10% of their subscribers look at their videos initially taking time to view much later on. Thanks for your comment.
I think they have won it already. As for INEOS, they might as well pack up and go home now.
They certainly have a grasp of foiling in light air.
Good but Barcelona is not a lake
Did you see the video of them out in 25+ knots? Was impressive
Last week the chase boats had to pull back as the wind and sea conditions were to much for them!
@@airflownztravel Barcelona has long deep waves even with 8kt, it's a strange spot. Look at Alinghi foil, up and down all the time. I don't think its a bouat issue.
because kiwis can fly bro we don't need wind.
Every little bit of wind is put to good use!
