New footage from Emirates Team NZ (see below) shows just how fast its AC75 foiling yacht can glide over the water.

The team is continuing training ahead of the first leg in the America’s Cup World Series which begins this April in Cagliari, Italy.

That’s also amid an ongoing dispute with the challenger of record over wind limits for the 36th edition in Auckland, scheduled for March next year.

We've got a favour to ask

More people are reading Afloat.ie than ever thanks to the power of the internet but we're in stormy seas because advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news sites, we haven’t put up a paywall because we want to keep our marine journalism open.

Afloat.ie is Ireland's only full–time marine journalism team and it takes time, money and hard work to produce our content.

So you can see why we need to ask for your help.

If everyone chipped in, we can enhance our coverage and our future would be more secure. You can help us through a small donation. Thank you.
