SailGP.  It's a start.

Mr Doug's response was classic: "If I could take something away from NZ it would be three square metres of sail."

Cool, I see you!   You lucky lucky bastard!  :D [Pls excuse the medieval Latin]

That would be awesome indeed!  Almost tempted to back LR, but my Kiwi brother-in-law would NEVER forgive me. :rolleyes:

No go at the only largish bottle shop within cooee of here, only came up with:

I watched them nail the landing, so when I saw your post, I thought WTF? But yes, they had an unscheduled deconstruction event!

Hahaha... just watched that myself.   Different foil setup, do they have to cope with sonic booms instead of cavitation?

Many thanks for taking the time to translate for us! If down the track you get a chance, the comments regarding the foils will be of great interest.  ;)

"The hard stop is the 21st March and the Italians have been clear about sticking to the schedule so the boat leading after the 21st March wins the Cup. That’s it. Winner declared." O...kay!    :huh:

The extra chili alone should do the trick... keep them busy with a "burning ring of fire" for a while?  :wub:

Hahahaha... I got sucked right in, didn't I.  :lol:

I must have missed something, what is the modification? To LR?

Both LR and TR look very good at lower wind speeds - this LR video indicates a wind speed of 8 knots.  Certainly no way for us to see which boat is the faster, until they race!

I want a Gomboc!  :P

I've always been quite amazed that the original designers came up with the whole AC75 concept - and that the teams actually got it to work! Congrats to them all.  :)

I do wonder, is he is trying to lull the Kiwis into a false sense of security? Not that I think it would work though... B)

Yes, Italian to English can be a bit of a giggle! :rolleyes:

Thanks!  Didn't realise that was available. :)

Thanks mate - but just plain lucky! Mainly due to the fact that I never liked Rita's hull - preferred something more shapely!  ;)

  Il "Pit Bull" e ora un Italiano onorario!  :)
