Team New Zealand’s debut race in Barcelona was short-lived.
"In their opening race of this week’s preliminary regatta - their first official race aboard their new AC75 Taihoro - the defender was gifted a win as Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli were forced to retire early.
The most anticipated contest of the day came to a deflating end midway through, after the Italians splashed down on the first leg of the race. The crew onboard appeared helpless to prevent it, as they could be heard exclaiming they had “lost the boat” before it hit the water and parked up." (Electrical problems apparently)
@sarabee1995 I stayed up to midnight watching round two. The SailGP races are more exciting. Different from match racing. The US and NZ race in the last round. Aug 25.
