Progress
on the NZL 92 build (15/09/06) (source : Team
NZ )
It’s all hands to the sanding
boards as the team works on NZL 92, the second of
the team’s 2007 race yachts.
This week, members of the shore and sailing crews
broke into their holidays to take part in a long
standing team tradition – helping to sand the racing
yacht hulls.
Team members who are currently in Auckland assembled
at Cookson Yachts to join the boat-building team
on the sanding boards.
NZL 92 will be delivered to the Emirates Team New
Zealand base next month and will be launched towards
the end of October. Sea trials will follow before
shipping to Valencia.
The plan is to have NZL 92 on a Maersk Line container
ship before Christmas.
