Sailing: Emirates Team New Zealand officially launch new boat Taihoro for 2024 America’s Cup defence


“All our tools have led us to this point so far, but we’re under no illusions we’ve got a hard push from here right to the Cup to stay ahead of our competitors.”   

The name Taihoro, given by Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei, was inspired by Taihoro-Nukurangi, and translates to ‘move swiftly as the sea between both sky and earth’.  

“Taihoro-Nukurangi [Tai] being the marine space, [Horo] meaning to be fast, be swift, [Nuku] being the land, [Rangi] being the sky,” said Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei’s Kingi Makoare.
