hi everyone – the waka is going along very well – we have been tensioning the fabric and external lighting.  The waka is making such a big impact with the locals here – they are so interested in what we are doing – so it is great to have a lot of local sanfran support.

Tensioning the fabric is a big job, so we are putting every ounce of energy into making the waka look great for the America’s Cup.

Team NZ are a great bunch of people – they are gearing up to win the Cup and we are right behind them – they are very impressed with the waka – and glad to have a showpiece to compliment the campaign.

The guys miss all their friends and families at home.  the waka boys say a big Kia Ora to everyone!
