Emirates Team New Zealand’s (ETNZ) latest America’s Cup challenger is ready to “fly” after a traditional naming ceremony at Auckland’s Viaduct Harbour, held recently. The huge, high-speed catamaran, known as an AC72 (America’s Cup 72-footer), features a 40-metre high wing-sail, which is actually longer than a single span of an Emirates A380 superjumbo wing. The next America’s Cup challenger series, for the Louis Vuitton Cup, will be held in San Francisco in July and August next year with the America’s Cup match finals in September 2013.
