Team New Zealand's 'lone wolf' America's Cup fearsEmiratesTeamNZ / YouTubeTeam NZ reveals some of the behind-the-scenes work that has gone into their boat design for this year's America's Cup. Team New Zealand boss Grant Dalton has described his syndicate as "a lone wolf" and expressed fears operating against their five America's Cup rivals. "We are very much the lone wolf," Dalton told the New York Times as the buildup to America's Cup racing in Bermuda in May intensifies. The cosy new arrangements now include defender Oracle Team USA sailing in the first phase of the challenger series. Oracle have also had a design-sharing agreement with late challengers Team Japan, who have former Team New Zealand skipper Dean Barker as their CEO and skipper.
