Dunedin's involvement in the next America's Cup has already begun with a team of Animation Research Limited staff working around the clock ahead of today's boat reveal. "We actually uploaded it to them [Team New Zealand] last night at about 6pm," Mr Taylor said. It was great for the company, which had a long history of involvement with the America's Cup, to be involved so early in the 2021 edition, he said. "If things work out in 2021 this could be one of the most amazing showcases for New Zealand technology and that's how we should be looking at it." "Don't think of this it as a boat race, think of it as a technology race we [New Zealand] have led."
