{"Image ImageDescription": "The New Zealand America's Cup yacht is lifted out of Auckland's Viaduct Harbour shrouded by a huge tarpaulin skirt to hide its keel and rudder from competing teams.  *   The nine challenging teams have been carrying out last minute trials in the Hauraki Gulf before the official opening ceremony for the Louis Vuitton Cup tomorrow in New Zealand's city of sails. The purpose of the Louis Vuitton Cup is to whittle the teams down to just one which then goes on to challenge the holders, Team New Zealand, for the America's Cup in February 2003. The millions of dollars spent designing and building these hi-tech machines means that all the boats hide their secrets below the water line. Rumours are flying around the harbour that the Kiwis have a revolutionary second rudder in the bow of their boat. It is the also the first time since 1988 that a British team has competed.
