While some teams have been working with smaller scale models of the design, Team New Zealand have been working with a simulator to prepare themselves for what they'll experience out on the water when sailing the AC75.
Team New Zealand is hopeful of getting their vessel on the water in early September, allowing enough time to get familiar with sailing it before the first America's Cup World Series regatta in Cagliari, Sardinia in late April 2020.
The four-day regatta will see the Italian Mediterranean island play host to the first ever competitive outing of the revolutionary AC75 foiling monohulls.
"Like all regattas there will be teams that come away satisfied and those that don't," Team New Zealand chief operating officer Kevin Shoebridge said.
"The significant thing about this regatta is that it will give a very clear idea of where each of the teams are in their designs and preparations for the main events in 2021.
"However, with only eight months between Sardinia and the start of the Prada Cup and ten months until the America's Cup Match, it gives very little time to make necessary changes for teams to make sure they are up to speed."
