    ETNZ History Part 1

    THE HISTORY OF ETNZ - PART 1 As the 36th America’s Cup draws ever nearer, our lengthy alliance with Emirates Team New Zealand has once again piqued a keen interest in the yachting world from within the Hydraulink community. As such, we have decided to celebrate the return of the upcoming Cup season with a series of emails diving deep into New Zealand’s history in the America’s Cup. Over the next few months, we’ll take you on a journey into the past and back again, with an in-depth insider’s view of Team New Zealand’s triumphs and disasters. TE KAHU - THE HAWK With the team’s recent reveal of their new custom designed and built test boat, ‘Te Kãhu’, we thought this the perfect chance to take a look at this new boat, its purpose and what exactly it means for the team. With a hydraulic system on-board that utilises Hydraulink hoses and fittings, this is a project very near to our hearts and we’re incredibly proud to have contributed to the build of this ground-breaking yacht. Purpose-built by ETNZ’s dedicated team of over 30 skilled boat builders, Te Kãhu was created to allow the sailing crew to continue their on-wa- ter development program without delay, whilst Te Aihe is packed up and shipped to Europe in preparation for the first of the America’s Cup World Series events beginning in April. While the series’ rules on test yachts dictated that this boat be limited to a length of 12m or less in comparison to Te Aihe’s larger 20.7 metre hull, don’t be fooled by her size – Te Kãhu is every bit as technologically advanced as Te Aihe.

Unusually, polo insiders have been loath to make predictions. Even the professionals chose to sit on the fence when contributing to the annual Polo Times predictions for the season. “So many teams and combinations have changed that it is difficult to know how it’s going to turn out,” says Max Routledge, the 21-year-old five- goal professional and one of the Eng- lish game’s rising stars.

Two years has gone fast. My association with Sail America has given me a wonderful connection to the sailing industry. I am richer for my involvement. While I have worked in the industry for 35 years, the last six years with this organization have expanded my perspective, ce- mented collaboration with industry colleagues and helped me become a better leader for West Marine. I know we share common goals and challenges as we work to earn a living in different areas of the industry, but working together, we achieve so much more! Writing this newsletter is my last official responsibility as Sail America president. It has been a privilege to serve the organization’s board of directors and members for the past two years. By December, the nomination of new board members will be com- plete.
