Sailing: America's Cup defenders TNZ sit up and take notice of INEOS

(Reuters) - INEOS Team UK's dominant display in the Challenger Series has made America's Cup defender Team New Zealand sit up and take notice, TNZ chief executive Grant Dalton has said.

INEOS, skippered by Ben Ainslie, registered five victories from five starts to storm into the final of the Challenger Series, with the winner set to take on TNZ in a series of head-to-head races from March 6 for the America's Cup.

"Certainly, as the defender, we are seriously taking notice," Dalton told the Times. "There's no doubt they are sailing brilliantly — they are absolutely pin-point perfect and they are not making mistakes on a shifty course.

"They are used to sailing boat-on-boat and they are used to sailing close (to their opponent), as our guys are."

In terms of weaknesses, Dalton said INEOS do not seem to have resolved their issues with performance in light winds.

"They are sailing a good boat exceptionally well, not a great boat OK," he said. "They will be concerned at their light-air performance and working towards how to fix that, although I'm not 100% sure how they will do that."

INEOS grinder David 'Freddie' Carr said they were striving to bridge the gap to TNZ.

"You'd be foolish not to have improvements to put on the boat throughout a two-month period of a Challenger Series into an America's Cup and we have got new stuff," Carr told New Zealand's Stuff media.

"The Kiwis are where the bar is set and ultimately that's where we want to get to ..."

  • EU leaders meet to speed up vaccine rollout in race against variants

    European Union leaders will meet on Thursday to try to speed up the production and rollout of COVID-19 vaccines in a race against the emergence of new variants that some fear could bring a third wave of the pandemic across the continent. Although infection rates are heading down in about 20 of the bloc's member states, there are concerns of fresh spikes as a U.K. variant spreads to become the dominant strain. And in France, where infection rates are heading higher again, the government has ordered a lockdown in the Dunkirk area and signalled that new curbs might be introduced elsewhere.

    Dublin, Feb. 25, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) Vaccine Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2021-2026" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. The global foot and mouth disease (FMD) vaccine market grew at a CAGR of around 6% during 2015-2020. The foot and mouth disease (FMD) occurs due to a transboundary, contagious virus that infects cloven-hoofed animals. It primarily affects cattle, such as buffaloes, pigs, sheep, goats, etc., and a few wildlife species, including deer, bison, camelid, antelope, etc. The FMD virus (FMDV) has seven immunologically distinct serotypes, namely O, A, C, SAT1, SAT2, SAT3, and Asia 1. This viral disease exhibits common symptoms in animals, such as blisters on lips and tongue, fever, excessive salivation, anorexia, low meat and milk productivity, etc. Several vaccines, based on aluminum hydroxide, saponin, and oil formulations, are used against FMD contraction.The high prevalence of FMD along with its socio-economic impact on the international trade of animal products is driving the FMD vaccine market. The growing meat processing industry and the increasing consumption of dairy products are also fueling the need for FMD vaccines. Additionally, the rising demand for high-grade and disease-free meat supply from livestock is further augmenting the market growth. Apart from this, the implementation of mandatory norms regarding cattle rearing is leading to the bulk purchase of vaccines to control FMD outbreaks. Furthermore, government bodies across the globe are also introducing several awareness programs for protecting endangered wildlife species, such as bison and antelope, against FMD. Rising globalization along with the growing livestock population across both developed and developing markets is also driving the market for FMD vaccines. Furthermore, the increasing presence of veterinary centers providing safe healthcare practices for livestock is also creating a positive impact on the market growth. Looking forward, the publisher expects the global foot and mouth disease (FMD) vaccine market to continue its moderate growth during the next five years.Key Market Segmentation:The publisher provides an analysis of the key trends in each sub-segment of the global foot and mouth disease (fmd) vaccine market report, along with forecasts for growth at the global, regional and country level from 2021-2026.
