Aleh has been with Team NZ since October, confirmed as one of four new local recruits to the main sailing team with Seb Menzies, Josh Armit and Jake Pye. Over the past few months, the team have been sailing their two AC40 scaled-down vessels while also working to bring the prospective women’s team for Naples up to speed. Emirates Team New Zealand took AC75 Taihoro for its first sail of the new campaign on Friday. Jo Aleh will sail for Emirates Team New Zealand in the America's Cup in Naples. Team NZ confirmed they would be entering both boats into the regatta, with one crewed by main America’s Cup sailors and the other by sailors from the Youth and Women’s America’s Cup teams.
