America's Cup defender, Oracle Team USA is scheduled to relaunch its first
AC72 catamaran, next week.
Following months of repair work and
delivery and assembly of the second wing, the boat is nearing completion and is
on track to be sailing in the San Francisco Bay, again. Following the launch it
is expected the AC72 will undergo the usual towing trial, before the wingsail is
stepped and USA-17 sails once again.
'After the capsize, the team set
the first week of February as the target date to get back on the water,' said
General Manager Grant Simmer. 'A lot had to come together for that to happen,
and it’s a great achievement to be right on schedule. Everyone really worked
hard and put in long hours to meet that goal.'
