Note the endplate at the top of the wing, closest to camera. The shape of the exterior surface of the wing is identical on all boats, dictated by the America's Cup Class Rule. Wingsail advantages, if any, lie in control systems and interior components that are engineered individually by each team.  Emirates Team New Zealand has two wings, the spare wing can be seen inside the tent, above.
