American Magic are one step closer to the starting line.
The New York Yacht Club's America's Cup challenger have officially unveiled their second AC75, christened Patriot on the Viaduct this morning.
As a couple hundred people filled into the team base abuzz with excitement - and, if we're being honest, fuelled by the coffee and donuts provided - American Magic's impressive second race vessel hit the water for the first time, the first syndicate to achieve the feat.
As one punter on a call to a friend put it: "The photo doesn't do it justice. Honestly, it looks like a rocket."
