Emirates Team New Zealand boats
Moments after the end of the parachute show, Emirates Team New Zealand were passing by on their way to a (I suppose) two-boat training day. Unlike other days, both boats were side by side, towed by one motorboat, giving the opportunity to take some comparison pictures. Although both of them are very similar, they can be distinguished by their bows. The older boat, NZL-84, has a steeper upward curve.
As it seems, not only were the rumors of severe structural damage in NZL-92 unfounded, we have been hearing both boats are fairing very well in their training match races.

Hi all
I heard that both ETNZ boats beat Luna Rossa with a distinct speed advantage and NZL84 beat Oracle. Looking good so far for ETNZ.
Can anyone clarify these rumours?

LR beat up on NZL-92 in the light the other day. Sure it was light and shifty, but a win is a win, right?
Team tough hasn't raced Oracle yet.
