Immutable portion of foil wings on a legacy boat - 100%
ditto for foil flaps - 100%
So these can only be foils measured for the last round

They can change the same amount as AM and alinghi have,(yes set up for bikes and other bits not withstanding) no one is calling those boats anything other than old boats certainly not V2 or a march stealing super inovation leap ahead of other such superlatives

Looks like they are dual helming, pretty hard to get out of those new pits.
The new pits look small for housing cycling setups but we should assume they are there. Presumably the helm pods are to aft but they could surprise us.

Yeah, there's no need to have the crew in front to shelter you from the spray when you can duck down into the pit!

It was exactly two years and two days ago since Te Rehutai, the winner of the 36th America’s Cup last sailed. Back then she was the most efficient AC75 ever built with design nuances that were ahead of their time and the Emirates Team New Zealand team lifted the America’s Cup high and proud on behalf of the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron. Heady days.
Since then, Te Rehutai has stayed sealed inside at the back of the Kiwi team’s shed, far away from prying eyes, unwilling to give up even an ounce of intellectual property until the call was made to bring full-scale testing back into the AC37 cycle. I
Pete Burling, the Cup winning helmsman from 2021 was buzzing to see ‘Te Rehutai’ back in the water saying: “It's incredibly exciting to see it going back in the water today, it's a pretty cool milestone for our programme here as a team to get back into some full scale testing and obviously there's some pretty big changes in the rule from the last edition of the America’s Cup through to this time with no runners on the boat and strengthening up the rig and today's really been about making sure all those parts go back together and we're ready to get back into some tuning.”
Helm pods are not at the aft (video shown that the cyclor is there), previously the helm was positioned in the middle, it is likely to re be the same, or moved to the front.

She already looks like a V2 boat. Such a 3-foil rocket ship.
So which one is it please..? LOL

Cup Spy Mar 20: Emirates Team NZ roll out modified AC75
Report from the AC37 Joint Recon Team: Te Rehutai was rolled out of the shed at 9.35am and after a multiple point turn was positioned head to the light south westerly on the docks edge.
America's Cup: First look at Emirates Team New Zealand's modified AC75
Emirates Team NZ have launched their modified AC75, the 2021 America's Cup champion. The obvious changes are to the deck, where the open crew pits - designed for 11 crew - have been reduced to five per side - which will be used by a reduced eight crew.
