Could well be... So what would need to be hard wired in that is so important?
Gear changes? Changing what you are pumping? IE swapping from hydro power to drive a jib winch? Potentially this it to do with a button push.
A cable through dyneema could make sense.
Yes.... Certainly if they are only monitoring what they are producing on the water which is a result of their training/study.
They will be wanting to monitor their Watts most importantly and the fitness/sports science work is done in the gym.
I agree.. I too have a power meter and heart rate monitor which gives me the data I need to monitor real time and analyze post ride.
If these guys are winding handles and need anymore than a pro cyclist would whilst competing I would be amazed.
My gut reaction is that it is some form of...
Guys,
In the latest STEM video online, what are the strings which are attached to the grinding handles for!? I have no doubt its a stupid question lol.... But Not spotted before
I expect they would quite like a light day, get some crew confidence back and more of a lottery sail may make for a easier result... either way, winning or losing.
This is true and fact!
So where is the what if factor in this?
What if:
There was a small shift?
There was a slightly lull or gust on one boat for a short duration?
Ben got the fear and made a small error causing a loss in boat speed?
'James' was closer and right of way boat, and...
I agree, it would make normal racing rules complicated, but I felt that the point of this was the limit dangerous contact etc.
I am under no illusion that this was a No Penalty situation, but my point was should it have been after seeing just how close the boats got in the matter of seconds...
But still close considering the potential outcome
In this instance, the sailors sailed very well and seemed to be in full control; the jury/event are relying on this
However, If I am right that 'James' (I take great pleasure in that), felt that he was making avoiding action then maybe the...
I would agree, yes.
But reinforcing the use of Giles with a team shirt on was the point I was more interested in.
Example - Pulling TH off the pumps in AM and giving him a role similar to Giles.
Awesome footage. I think this race proved the AC75 concept and I have to say I am converted that this is a great spectacle and could certianly see a lot more of this to come.
Penalty?!
I have not seen the overhead like the umpires, but to me this was a Penalty.
Whilst I dont think Prada...
Sure, media now for the team is mostly good....But there are a lot of questions regarding them hiding their performance back at Christmas, I think they were training with winter tyres on and knew that when they put the slicks on they would show a % increase which they had bench marked.
But...
Christ... This is one terrible situation for a challenger to be in and not good for the cup. I really hope this team do get the boat back together and manage to to do so in a competitive nature...
Post situation I have two takeaways;
Something did come out of the boat, if you watch the video...
