In this public lecture America's Cup engineers, Andy Kensington and Neil Wilkinson, from Emirates Team NZ and Oracle Team USA share behind-the-scenes details about the technology that won the series. Hosted by IPENZ, the two design engineers talk about the particular technology that helped Oracle make a miraculous turn around last year, from 8-1 to 9-8, clawing back Team New Zealand's lead to defy the odds and win.
In this one hour public lecture, sponsored by Beca, the two New Zealanders reveal details about the competition that took place off the water and out of sight as teams worked into the night behind closed doors, using cutting-edge technology and last-minute changes to gain a competitive edge. Battle of the boats is a IPENZ Centenary lecture, more details at: http://www.ipenz.org.nz/IPENZ/Events_and_Awards/Centenary_Public_Lecture_Series/2014_-_Battle_of_the_Boats.cfm
