After Wednesday’s opening salvo of the 36th America’s Cup presented by Prada produced a 1-1 scoreline for defender Emirates Team New Zealand, and challenger Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli, both teams remained ashore during the lay day, using their time wisely.
The shore crew checked every component of the AC75, whilst the sailing team debriefed Races 1 and 2 with their coaches working through their extensive playbook to review what unfolded in both races, plus spending time with team meteorologist, Roger ‘Clouds’ Badham, to plan for the light and complex conditions forecast for today.
If the first day of racing was about sizing up your opposition - from today it is all about dominating them. The intensity has ramped up, and for both teams, today is all about starting well, staying up on the foils, and making a statement.
