When former Team New Zealand grinder Simon Greenwood finished up his sailing career, there were some things he never saw coming. Greenwood was a grinder on Kiwi Magic in the 1987 America's Cup - the first challenge by a New Zealand team - and spent years as part of the Kiwi sailing scene. Having watched the first day of the America's Cup aboard Sea Breeze III with invited guests, Greenwood was relieved to see it come together. He was also relieved to see Team NZ start the America's Cup with a win in race one, and is confident they'll successfully defend the Auld Mug. • Don't forget to scan QR codes with the NZ COVID Tracer app when on public transport and entering the America's Cup Village.
