In the coming weeks the wing will be tested as a replacement for a traditional soft sail now used on BOR 90, the team’s 90-ft trimaran being readied for America’s Cup 33.
The construction of the wing took place at Core Builders, the team’s boat-building facility in Anacortes, Washington, with finishing work completed at the team base in San Diego, hidden under a tent.
