    Alinghi Challenge AC37

    Don't know why I am engaging here, but you'll have to take Coutts off the boat for 2010 and 2013. John Kostecki gets a tactician slot in both of those. Also JS could be considered an american driver depending on how you want to look at nationality.

    Really? surely fully down is maximum self righting moment, as if it were a keel. stating the obvious clearly, but for a point of discussion - my little sketch of a much more complicated scenario with the orange up arrow the fulcrum of sorts. The simple concept is that the boat should come back...

    indeed. very exciting stuff looks like Ailinghi boatzero has sailed as much as Ailinghi 5 this summer.

    plus they have added Pietro Sibello on the coaching crew. As the losing wing trimmer from the previous cup match, he obviously brings in a lot of knowledge. Was he let go by LRPP as obviously he can't be on the boat for the swiss?

    chrome extension called "bypass paywalls" gets you in. NZ tech is not a worldclass everywhere on the whole island. bullcrap. he is eligible for 2 of the 5 teams, he's just 2 cup cycles past his sell by date.

    Agreed. Especially when they say they want to keep costs down to t. Makes using a v1 boat expensive per sailing hour

    he is still listed there! https://www.lunarossachallenge.com/en/team/254_Jimmy-Spithill jokes aside, plenty of teams for red bull to have fingers in more than one pie - they quite often have multiple athletes on separate teams.

    You're literally investing in ETNZ, how? Surely a CEO shouldn't ever be shagging his employee's partners? Poor decision making and lousy leadership, especially while on tour.

    Well thank you for showing the depth of your knowledge so succinctly here, it is unfortunately not in line with his comments on receiving this award received recently, which makes you look a little bit silly: Tom Slingsby said, "This is a huge honour for me. Thank you to everyone who voted. I...

    if that was the criteria then Jimmy and BAinslie wouldn't be allowed to drive an AC75. if anything, here would be a good submission for the job. TomS had a split second to avoid GBR by going up or bearing down and nailed it.

    I don't think we will see boats as ridiculous as this ever again. Even the ones we have aren't even useful it seems. I think you could buy A5 from the city of Valencia for $1. Imagine putting a wing and foils on that?

    how did they get it from valencia back to SanFran, one piece on top of a container ship or deconstructed? if the latter then why not reassemble on site? Alinghi 5 is still where she finished in valencia
