You're an idiot. That comment was WELL before the latest video was posted, and YES they looked well behind back then. And they were. Have they improved? Yes, did they look like they were behind the other teams back then? Yes they did.
So STFU moron.
It must be slightly concerning that these guys are still struggling to sail Te Aihe well. These guys have been racing foiling boats for a long time, so wonder why its taking them so long to even sustain flight? It can't be the boat, because the boat seemed to go well in Auckland?
If you’re more worried about what others think of you, than achieving your objective you’ll never get to the top.
I guess it comes down to whether you’d rather look good and lose, or look bad and win.
Look, its real simple... always has been, always will be. All you have to do is win.
Once you win, you get to set the rules according to the governing document. Thats literally ALL a team has to do.
There's nothing else to it.
To the winner go the spoils.
To the loser goes the opportunity to get...
All they have to do is beat us. Its that simple.
Everyone bags the champion, simply because they aren't the champion.
Beat us, do what you want. Lose, do what you're told.
Its that simple.
Ernie has kept his team at the top of their game since 2010. His goal seems to have changed from winning at all costs, to promoting Swiss sailing, and he's done just that, unlike Larry Ellison who came and went and left NYYC to pick up the pieces.
This is gonna be epic once the teams master their craft! It'll be interesting to see the teams direction they decide to go in given they may have a decent sea state to contend with this time around. This may be a test of seamanship as well as design this time around
