Project management of Emirates Team NZ AC50, America's Cup 2017

In the second half of 2016, Aquamagic Yachts provided America's Cup project management services for Emirates Team New Zealand to ensure their new AC50 race yacht would be delivered on time and meet the class rules. Built using hi-tech carbon prepreg laminates and alloy Nomex cores, this yacht was at the leading edge of composite construction.
