Breeze up again and a good day on the water

CC120819-010

Emirates Team New Zealand tuned in to the San Francisco sea breeze again on Sunday.  The  breeze was up again – top gust for the afternoon was 27 knots – and was always in the early 20s.

Again the sailing crew returned to base unscathed and satisfied with the progress made during the afternoon, but  declared they still  had a lot of work to do to be confident against teams that had been sailing in San Francisco conditions for much longer than them.

Tomorrow is a day off.  Official practice will be on Tuesday and racing starts on for some teams on Wednesday. Emirates Team New Zealand’s regatta starts on Thursday.
