Nathan Outteridge has been named as skipper for Emirates Team New Zealand’s next America’s Cup defence.
Not a huge surprise, Outteridge was the port side helm during the defence of the AC37 in Barcelona, Spain last year.
The Kiwi team announced five core sailors via social media, with Aussie Outteridge as Skipper, following the recent exit of Peter Burling. Not a huge surprise, Outteridge was port side helm, with Burling starboard helm, for the AC37 in Barcelona, Spain last year.
