Saturday, 04 Jul, 2013 0

Emirates Team New Zealand has set course for the Americas Cup with the Louis Vuitton Challengers Series which launched at the weekend.

Racing off San Francisco continues through the America’s Cup match finals in September. 

Emirates Team New Zealand fans will be able to enjoy the challenge races from the Fan Zone at America’s Cup Village located at Pier 27/29.

A sailing simulator will be open to the public each day of racing and allow enthusiasts to experience the thrill of manning the Emirates Team New Zealand catamaran into their choice of Auckland Harbour or the Dubai shores.

Those who participate will be entered to win a trip for two to Dubai in Business class courtesy of Emirates. 

The 34th America’s Cup will be raced with 72-foot catamarans – different from those used at Valencia in 2007.
