Team New Zealand boss Grant Dalton is concerned rivals are using the recent tragedy involving Artemis as an opportunity to push their own agendas for the America's Cup.

There was a sentence from America's Cup Racing Management boss Iain Murray that will have raised the heart rates of the challengers - particularly that of Team NZ.

With the competitors having invested upwards of half a billion dollars in the event, America's Cup organisers have declared the show must go on, writes Dana Johannsen.

The culture in NZ is, no doubt, a leading element of what has been achieved by Team NZ in bringing this catamaran campaign to its impending pinnacle, Keith Turner.

The Emirates Team New Zealand yard now resembles the port of Auckland with containers coming and going and endlessly being filled. The work is non stop right now in the rush to get the base packed and on a ship to San Francisco.

Team New Zealand have damaged their wingsail - a hi-tech and expensive piece of machinery - in a dramatic launch incident in the Viaduct this afternoon. The incident occurred as the team were preparing to fit their wingsail to the platform of AC72 catamaran in gusty conditions. The 40m wing-sail needs to lifted into place by a crane - an extremely fraught process particularly when the wind picks up. It is believed the team lost control of the sail in the hoisting process, and the wing clipped the side of the main building of Emirates Team New Zealand's base. A spokesperson for Team New Zealand was not immediately available, but at this stage it is understood the damage is relatively minor.

Emirates Team New Zealand launched its second AC72 at its national headquarters in Auckland. Managing Director Grant Dalton said they would be out sailing with the new yacht later this week. He also commended his dedicated team in the commitment & hard work it took to reach the deadlines of completion.

Team New Zealand managing director Grant Dalton will wait until after this year's America's Cup before beginning the "money hunt" for the next Volvo Ocean Race.

Just hours after wrapping up their World Series regatta in San Francisco, Team NZ was on a plane home last night hoping to be back out on the water tomorrow.
