England’s never-ending quest to win back the America’s Cup it lost nearly two centuries ago is taking another step forward with INEOS Team UK’s relocation to New Zealand for sailing’s marquee regatta. While Sir Ben Ainslie and his mates are undergoing a mandatory 14-day quarantine in an Auckland hotel, their new race boat was scheduled to arrive in a giant cargo plane sometime Thursday New Zealand time. The 75-foot foiling monohull left the team’s UK base in Portsmouth by truck Friday and was flown out of London Stanstead Airport on Monday.
