Emirates Team New Zealand is a high-technology yachting team and two-time winner of the America’s Cup, the world’s oldest sporting trophy first contested in 1851. Their challenge for the 34th America’s Cup held in Bermuda in 2017 involves the world’s most technical racing yachts that travel more than 60 km/hr, flies above the water on hydrofoils, an innovative rigid carbon fibre wing for propulsion and human power for control of onboard hydraulic systems. For New Zealanders, their team and the America’s Cup came to typify many of the nation’s values – a can-do attitude, teamwork, taking on the big guy, accepting a challenge and striving for excellence.
