San Francisco was a real kick in the guts and I really though ETNZ were dead in the water. I really do know what your going through. The TV were saying that LR were confirmed to coming back, so you might get your revenge. Losing the cup is not fun, but the Italian fans were a real class act.

Or has it changed how CoR is determined? That is not how it worked! The challenge is between yachtclubs, as stipulated in de Deed of Gift, and usually the respective Commodores will be ready to do the deed. Dalton's or rather ETNZ's influence depends on their contract with the RNZYS. We will hear soon who the Challenger is, and later what the agreed conditions will be.

Count Drac 100 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 One guy I really take my hat off to is Dan Bernasconi. When the concept of a large, fully-foiling monohull was first promoted I was sceptical. I figured that the power required to get up on foils would be high but that at least a wing sail could provide that power. To then learn that a double-skin soft sail would be used made me even more sceptical, but I acknowledged that if they pulled it off then it would a huge advance in sailing technology and capability. To have now achieved what Dan set out to do puts him up there with any of the great yacht designers. In fact, what he has achieved may put him at the top. I know many may disagree and cite designers like Herreshoff, Fife or Stephens, but in my opinion they all improved existing designs without achieving the quantum leap that these foiling monohulls have achieved. Congratulations to Dan and the entire ETNZ (and Di, I won't have to water-board you anymore at family get-togethers). 19 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Joakim 80 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 5 minutes ago, fish7yu said: LR won the start? Which race were you watching? LR wanted the right hand side, TR took it off them. It's almost impossible to stop the other boat from tacking at the start. LR was leading accross the line and had a good leebow situation. They could have tacked, at least when TR tacked. LR didn't win the start by a big marging. That would have been e.g shutting TR from getting to the line. But they still won it. Then TR was faster or got better wind from right. TR had the luxury not needing to win the start. They just needed a free line and the boat does the rest. It was a smart move for them, but most likely TR would have won the first cross with a bigger margin, if the places in the start were swapped. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
