Louis Vuitton Cup results after Day 2
Emirates Team New Zealand issued a statement after racing had concluded today, saying: “After a thorough examination the team have been relieved that the damage was not as significant as initially expected. ”
“There was a big scope of work to figure out where the damage was and how to fix it. The structural damage is reasonably significant, but it was all stuff we can repair to the hull, ” said structural engineer Dave Olsen. “You wouldn’t say we were lucky because it was a bad afternoon, but compared to what it could have been we are feeling very thankful for sure. ”
The work has been relentless behind the boat shed doors by a highly skilled group of boat builders that have embraced the challenged presented just 24 hours ago.
“The shore crew and boat builders are world class; they turn this stuff around really high quality and really quickly, ” Olsen added. “They are all putting big hours, and we will get this boat back on the water and racing again. ”
The team are aiming to be back out on the racecourse on Saturday, lining up again for their share of six scheduled races — with Friday’s two missed races to be raced at the top of the programme. Conditions are forecast to stay light but slightly improve, with the first start scheduled at 2pm CET.
