AC36: The Match (6-15th March. Reserve days to the 21st)

[Redreuben]

At what wind speed do they get glued to the water or at what windspeed do they need to get up without a tow ?

 

[Enzedel92]

Keep the comms coming....any update? 

LR playing possum so Ian Murray will start the race.

 

[AKL wino]

LR still not foiling and ETNZ foiling around nicely!

Still parked up with shore crew on board - or displacement sailing?

 

[Enzedel92]

As in financial? Culture ? Or the boat is broke ?

He said his buddies are out on the water and the boat isn’t foiling

Is Jesse blairs brother? 

 

[**ONTOIT**]

Currently 7 knts.....havent seen any 9 minute rolling charts, probably wont see anything until 4pm....but looks promising!

If the Italians are broken we definitely want racing........

I suggest a late unilateral rule change to allow racing under 6.5knots and how ever long it takes... just for today

Predict WInd Americas Cup Observations

 

[45Roller]

Love the ad breaks, so many cup related ones 

 

[**ONTOIT**]

Fuck TVNZ are dickheads...playing some marine video of Young Ocean Explorers....no offence to them, but really....how is that related to Americas Cup apart from being related to water!

 

[dg_sailingfan]

Does the 15 minute tehnical delay card still exist?

Yes, it does! And I expect LR to use it to get their Boat fixed!

Yeah true, they have a load of filler alright, not sure why they need an hour for the pre race show
