Yes, but they're only ominous for OR, ok for everyone else

 

You are missing the point.  It isn't about who is doing wheelies or even foiling stably at the moment - it isn't about specifics.  It is about how they are doing overall in their programme.  This AC, even though it is radically different, in many ways is exactly the same as previous versions.  It is about who can manage their programme, corral their resources, and use their time best toward the overall goal.

 

If OR were on track at the moment, and say the whole foiling thing had been a bust early on so their original concept was still being developed, ETNZ would be toast now.  This would be true even if ETNZ programme was also on track, because OR just had too much of a headstart, and has too much resource for ETNZ to match.  

 

But that isn't the case.  OR is playing catch up on foiling, and missed the chance to catch up on sailing time while ETNZ were in transit.  Now they are trying to learn things that ETNZ already knows, while ETNZ is moving ahead in other areas.  The fact they have done so few days in B2 at this stage of the game is not a good look for their programme.

 

You've got to remember that we ETNZ fans have the memories of failed campaigns burned into our memories, and looking back the signs were always very similar.  From the outside it seems like small things going wrong, but in hindsight those small things were symptomatic of deeper problems.  And its not even small things with OR - even the most ardent OR supporter would have to concede that there have been some quite big things go wrong.  OR's programme at this stage has an eerily familiar feel to me.

 

OK, Ominous, eerily, problematic, scary, call it what you want.

 

One simple request, come back in September and tell me how you think it looks. 

 

Pretty simple, and eliminates all the smack talk and politics, that  I am always spewing about  my endless bs trying to defend ggyc - oh snap I forgot to take my sws smart pills again - 

ehman is going to spank me  - I better go hide in the barn and finish milking the billy goats . 

looks like the mad clown - sw soiler still trying to blow those ggyc  balloons ...

looks like the parties over ...the clown is always the last one  to leave 

Why don't you tell us again about how a kayak helmet "should" be alright for a sailboat race.....

I was dead wrong on that one.  Just confirmed that Bart's helmet was heavily damaged and clearly inadequate.

that is sad and more non compliance issues for ggyc -artemis -cayard 

if that helmet wasnt an approved helmet under OSHA - ANSI etc 

wtf   

USCG investigation better be complete

 and not white washed with ehman and ellison using their inside conflicted interests with USCG 

like they did on frging act of congress bs 

The process to be followed by the Coast Guard is to either approve or reject America's Cup Regatta Management's application (through the Golden Gate Yacht Club).

'They don't dictate,' explains Ehman. 

Essentially what is being lodged is a Safety Plan, and it is against that laudable backdrop that some of the Recommendations are curious.

That damned Montgomery! He's just a whore looking for clicks!

[/sarcasm]

Thanks MSP, we can expect the rest of the media to begin following along now like the sheep they are...

Comments, stingray?

right on 

and all those hater poster look stupid now as before 

adm clean and the editor were leading the way on this 

spinray and his fellow ass clown haters/posters   cant spin it away 

whatever 

question is who else is wondering or knowing  when the full disclosure will happen 

THE BRITISH ARE COMING THE BRITISH ARE COMING 

Murray and the Review Committee have been sharing their desk with the US Coast Guard for the past week, as it is the USCG’s responsibility to issue Special Local Regulations and an Event Permits to allow the America’s Cup Regatta to take place. 

Worst case scenario is that the USCG could decide the whole thing was seriously flawed, the AC72’s dangerous, and decide to shut the Regatta down. They have that power. 

That won’t happen according to Golden Gate Yacht Club Vice Commodore, Tom Ehman. 'They have been part of this process, and have told us that they like these Recommendations, and we fully expect that they will approve them.' 

There may be some adjustments required by the USCG. 'But we understand they like the process, they like the Recommendations, and we expect that sometime in June – which was always in the schedule – that they will be issuing our Event Permit.'

from SAILWORLD ARTICLE CITED ABOVE -GREAT WORK AGAIN

USCG will have to add huge new restrictions to even consider issuing the MARINE EVENT PERMIT -I already posted that 

it will be unlikely ehman /ggyc will get it tho -
