To bad they aren't finding much use for the hydrogen tender. For the big boats it would look quite inadequate.

normally I'm the last one to comment on this sort of thing, but this is such an insane clash of colours. Maybe it looks ok in the flesh, but looks like someone took some random swatches from the paint section of the hardware store
Where does this new "teal" greeny paint even come from, no sponsor logo, right?

Does anyone notice what is missing from the boat?
Backstays?

Maybe he's still in AUS?
The Defenders of the America’s Cup on behalf of the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron, re-launched Te Rehutai, their all-conquering boat from AC36 in a new livery and with huge changes all over whilst welcoming onboard elite cycling athletes that have undergone extensive testing to join the team.
For many it was their first time on AC75, but Emirates Team New Zealand is staffed equally with apex sailors of long Cup experience. Nathan Outteridge, the alternate helm with Pete Burling was one of those jumping onboard for the first time and he was enthused saying: “Yeah it was really cool. Obviously, I watched the boat sail around a lot a few years ago and had heaps of sailing on the AC40 lately, but nothing really compares to these beasts. They’re so big and so powerful and…fortunately for me it wasn't very windy, so it was nice to sort of ease into it. The boats are still amazing how fast they go for such little wind and just the power of these boats is something that I haven't experienced for a long time.”

You’re not wrong, it’s a terrible colour clash. Immaterial in the grand scheme of things but still…

It does seem to be similar to one of the colours used to represent hydrogen - is this a coincidence or by design?

Ahhh. Bell bottoms are back in for guys. Great. All I need now is new platform shoes.
With that outfit, two-tone blue and white, I'm thinking. ;-)
Nah, Ashby was sailing with the Swiss in CHCH SailGP, he is in NZ somewhere.

Te Rehutai out in the Rangitoto Channel right now. In slow mode. No wind, but might be a breeze later this afternoon.
A bit of wind now in the Motukorea Channel and she's flying. Impressive.
