America's Cup 2013. Oracle Team USA ‘17’ was back in the San Francisco Bay
today, beginning the next phase of training for their upcoming America’s Cup
defense. A crew of 11 sailors, plus members of the design and performance team,
took Oracle Team USA's AC72 racing yacht on the water for testing and
commissioning of the boat and new wing.
'I think everyone was
anxious and pretty psyched to get going again,' said trimmer Rome Kirby.
'Obviously the first day out, you’re cautious about loading the boat up, and
you’re not pushing too hard yet. But all-in-all it went well, and it was a good
day.'
The AC72 rolled out of the shed
Monday morning and was lowered into the Bay outside the team base at Pier 80.
The crew spent the afternoon running through tests and various exercises to get
back up to speed.
