Emirates Team New Zealand will not race on Friday. We are waiting to hear how the schedule will be reshuffled, New Zealand was due to race INEOS and Oritent Express on Friday.
The AC37 action continues today – Boating New Zealand will have our race report online shortly after each race is run, and by morning, the race highlight video package! We have everything AC37 you need to to know to start Friday.
On Friday Europe time, mid-night Saturday morning here in New Zealand – all teams will race once, and US and New Zealand have the opportunity for a second outing on the course.
The first teams (American Magic & Alinghi) will start just after midnight (2 pm CET), and on average the races will each run around 23 minutes, the next race starts about 10 minutes after the loser crosses the line. As we saw last night, these times are wind-dependent.
Boating New Zealand will be following the action as it happens, we will publish a race report shortly after the match and attach the Race Video as soon as it is available to us (some 60 minutes after the race).
