Progress on the NZL-92 build is right on schedule
[Source: Emirates Team New Zealand] 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.

AC similar to F1? Where is CNC machine?
Old methods, bad technology.
lol, lets see you build a cnc machine big enough to carve out a mold in one piece.
Unlike F1 cars, an AC boat's hull can't be assembled from lots of smaller pieces.
I suggest you think before you type.
