Levitation: Selective colour NZL 84
I don't know what these concrete edifices are, however behind them in the distance is an old Team New Zealand Americas Cup boat NZL 84.
In 2004 Emirates Team New Zealand head, Grant Dalton, revamped the Team New Zealand program. Following the unfortunate defeat of a design-led campaign in 2003 which was mainly due to deficiencies in the boat, Dalton saw the need for a combination of a sailor-led campaign with a 'good all round boat' as seen in the 2003 America's Cup winner Alinghi's SUI 64. Two new yachts were designed and built relatively quickly and were assigned the sail numbers NZL 84 and NZL 92 respectively. The two new TNZ yachts were among the first of their generation to be built. NZL 84 debuted in the Louis Vuitton Cup Act 10, and beat Alinghi in Act 12.
