Race 8: Emirates Team New Zealand vs Orient Express Racing



The big news is that ETNZ is back on the water, 48 hours after its crane smash. We are hoping the fast-acting resin works and all electronics and hydraulics are good to go. They will be so glad they have the round robins to find any gremlins.

These two boats share DNA, as the French bought the design package from ETNZ, but it’s likely ETNZ will dominate. But the French boat has a problem and retires, leaving ETNZ to race alone. Oh darn.
