Rhumline 67 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Well done ETNZ... truly did save the best till last. Forza Luna Rossa. Tough, uncompromising competitors on and off the water - the qualities of a true challenger. Wherever the next Cup happens, you must be there! If Mr dalton does turn his back on Auckland, then your will be our champion. Strider and all the Luna Rossa fans. Thank you for being here. You have lifted the tone and excitement of this forum. All the best... now time for a large scotch! 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Barnyb 631 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Strider. We know what's its like to be on the receiving end but LRPP can hold their heads high. I was fortunate enough to see the LRPP supporters when LR dispensed with the Americans and then the poms. They were loud in support for their team but the first to honor their competitors. These are the same young people who will be deeply disappointed today. They won my respect.

eurochild 53 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Brilliant, we get to do this again in Auckland in 4 (or 3?) years.

Foyle 15 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Great show by ETNZ, sailing a whole regatta in wind strengths where they were likely at their relative weakest, and yet still winning. And gutsy performance from LR tactically wringing everything they could out of a boat that was a click slower - to the point that they made for an initially tight competition and a final scoreline that somewhat flatters ETNZ. I really hope that Mr Bertelli stays in the great game, he has been just about the classiest competitor in the whole history of the cup, and it's rather sad he has never (yet) held it aloft. They are a very strong team and I hope they continue into AC37. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Foyle 15 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Couple of things I'd like to see before they pack these beasts away: Nautical mile record (currently 55.3kts), might be touch and go. D class record (51.4kts). 24 hour record - 39kts avg, these beasts could beat that on a reach in 10kts. Would be amazing on a Coastal classic - current race record is only about 24kts average over course. For AC37 I'd like to see them cut down the class to 45ft length to reduce wind shadow on these tight courses, crew of 5 or 6, additional fixed lift foil under hull to assist getting up on foils before coming clear of water in marginal conditions and more easily internationally campaigned. Maybe a retractable keel for oh shit moments to allow righting while making foil arms lighter and for lifting and less draggy when submerged (no bulb). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
