Emirates Team New Zealand Challenger for the 34th America’s Cup
After the crash of the team in the AC 2000 and a
victory in the LVC 2003 New Zealand's team under
Grant Dalton, Dean Barker and the financial support
of Emirates Airlines is again a strong team that is the
favorite among the challengers.
The New Zealanders also helps the sophisticated
yacht- and its supply-industry. Oracle itself orders his
wings at Core Builders in Warkworth.
Videos show that the Kiwis are not afraid of hard
trainings in extremely strong winds.
In safety training the crew is learning safe jumps
from a great height. The crew members also carry a
small pressurized air bottle and a knife. For the case
they should be pressed in a rollover by the
trampoline net under the water.
Analysis of the photos from Oracle capsized AC72
catamaran show that crew members were hanging in
about 14 m height on the trampoline.
For the AC World Series the team sail an AC45
For the LVC and the AC a second AC72 is under
construction.

Good to see are the steering wheels, the "coffee-
grinder" with the coupled winches and several
crew members on the safety net, the trampoline.
The bent dragger-board with the L-shaped
foil is on the windward side pulled up, on
the leeward side lowered about halfway.
