Team New Zealand is leading the America’s Cup preliminary regatta after winning two races in Barcelona.
Although they only raced once, they earned two victories. The first win came on Saturday when they defeated the British team, Britannia. On Friday, their scheduled opponent, Luna Rossa from Italy, had to retire due to a technical issue, while the French team, Orient Express Racing, couldn’t start because of similar problems.
In their race against Britannia, New Zealand’s crew, led by Peter Burling, outmanoeuvred the British team from the start, forcing them off their foils and securing a 52-second victory. The second race against the French team was canceled due to technical difficulties on the French boat.
Currently, Team New Zealand has three points, putting them ahead of Luna Rossa and American Magic, who have two points each. Alinghi has one point, while Britannia and France have yet to score. Team New Zealand’s next races are scheduled against Alinghi and American Magic.
Blair Tuke, the team’s flight controller, expressed satisfaction with their performance but emphasised the importance of learning and improving with each race.
very interesting
I loved reading it because, I never knew that maybe chocolate might be gone in the future!
save the chocolate…
I enjoyed this reading because
it show what climate changes does!!
they might have to move most chocolate into a colder place, since the climate clock is getting low
so temperature might get higher.
i love chocolate
I’m allergic to dairy, but this makes me sad for my best friends all around NZ (don’t think it’s weird because I actually do). And my chocolate loving cousin, her name is Dana (I’m from South Korea and she told me how to spell her name in Korean but its not pronounced like Dana).
I know that there are chocolate lovers around the world so, poor them or if you like chocolate poor you (even though I’m allergic to dairy, or to make it easy dairy products: cheese, milk, butter etc).
