Emirates Team New Zealand victory brings the magic of the America’s Cup alive…
Nestlé Nespresso S.A. is a proud sponsor of Emirates Team New Zealand and as the Kiwi team clinched victory in the Louis Vuitton Cup Final in San Francisco, USA, on Sunday, 25th August, the worldwide pioneer and reference for highest quality premium portioned coffee could not be prouder of what the team has achieved in their quest to win the oldest sporting trophy in the world.

When Nespresso announced their sponsorship of the team in April 2011, Grant Dalton, Emirates Team New Zealand CEO set out the team’s intentions to mount a credible challenge and to give the team the best possible chance of winning the 34th America’s Cup: “That’s our mission and that is the expectation of our sponsors, partners and the people of New Zealand. It is an expectation that every member of this team is determined to fulfill.”

Following Emirates Team New Zealand 7-1 win over Italy’s Luna Rossa, played out on the waters of San Francisco over the past week, the Kiwi team have secured their place in the 34th America’s Cup against the Defender, ORACLE Team USA. The score line of Emirates Team New Zealand’s victory looks convincing, but it has been a long journey from a performance-driven team who strive for excellence and who are fuelled by passion.

Emirates Team New Zealand bid to win the 30th Louis Vuitton Cup Final got off to a scary start when their powerful AC72 catamaran, Aotearoa, nosedived following a mark rounding, burying the port (left) bow up the index crossbeam reducing the boatspeed from 40 knots to 13 in a matter of seconds: “Everyone’s a little shaken,” said skipper Dean Barker. “This type of sailing is pretty full on.” The racing has stayed ‘full on’ for the duration of this Final as each team battled with technical issues and demanding racing conditions. However, the Kiwi team put the close call behind them and consistently out-performed Luna Rossa in terms of speed, securing their place in the 34th America’s Cup Final that starts on the 7th September.
