New Concept of boat for America’s Cup 2021 revealed

Team New Zealand have revealed the new monohull America’s Cup yachts will potentially be faster than the catamarans used this year in Bermuda.

Yachts for the Auckland event will be high-performance fully foiling monohulls, the result of collaboration between the Emirates Team New Zealand and Luna Rossa design teams.

Team New Zealand claim the performance models of the giant 75-foot monohull show it has the potential to be faster than the 50-foot catamarans used at this year’s America’s Cup in Bermuda.

The goal was to design a class that will be challenging and demanding to sail, rewarding the top level of skill for the crews.
