After some two boat testing in Bermuda in late 2015 Oracle sold their first test boat to SoftBank Team Japan. In the first week of February the two teams sailed together in training. Oracle hopes to launch a third test boat in the week of February 8, weather permitting. That will again give them two boats for testing. Their sailing team is up to 14 members – two full crews plus two spares. While one boat testing, they rotate crew when they switch off the electrical power for the hydraulic pumps. In this video, sailing team manager Tom Slingsby explains that the grinders struggle to provide enough hydraulic pressure to get around the race course.
