At first, I thought I've written something particularly weird because of my poor English.

 

We're far to polite to mention that

 

[The Advocate]

Ahhh ok. Now I see it! Sorry mate, I missed your apologies. Intelligent people understand when they make some misdudjement.

Indeed, we might be cunts, but we do understand that not all cunts speak our cunt language. :lol:

I copped a fair bit of flack for having a go at you Mozzy. As someone who was a content producer I take copyright very seriously, and even litigated more than once to protect my own content. That said, I unfairly maligned you, and do take it back, and sincerely, and unreservedly apologize.

Respect Horn Rock. I too apologise when i get it wrong.

Ignore undone and well done Sir!

Big Balls!

I think R8 spells the end of foiling boats in the Cup. Convince me I am wrong.

No, neither team in the final would do that. They've already said so. But the wind speed minimum is too low.

 

[Zaal]

I'm incredibly proud of LR, and I honestly think we still have a chance to win this.

Anyway, full credit to the Kiwis, yesterday they made less mistakes, and deserved to win the first race. The second one was a bit of a lottery. But that's ok. This is the AC, not the Grandfather Cup, after all  

Forza ragazzi ! 

PS: I have to quote him: "Imagine if they lost from here"   B)

Agree. I have been running this one through my head since the race. Would they really move towards a Cup with a 10 knot window?

If we win, GD will want to retain current limits, or it limits design too much. In SF we were fucked by a 10kt reduction in limits. The tractor was doomed

 

[36thLatitude]

Sure you listened carefully to the end? They fucked up the tack mainly because there was a drop of the wind and the manouver become extremely critical. But we will see better when the wind and boatspeed data analysis will be published, very soon. Not that this changes anything, but it is useful to understand, also for the teams.

Jimmy said something about foil cavitation just b4 touchdown so not sure if wind or tacking mistake

As penance to Mozzy, I offer my girls tits in the great tradition of SA.

What if the teams are required to design a boat that is somehow better than a log of wood even in displacement mode?

A race, before starting, could be declared by the race committee either foiling or not foiling based on the wind forecast, (<15 kts / > 15 kts)

In the non-foiling races, you are not allowed to fly and you can use sails like gennakers etc.

Also, the course would be changed accordingly.

Difficult but doable and there is precedence I believe.

36th America’s Cup Day 5

Phew… we all wanted more drama as we moved toward this end phase of the Cup challenge - we got it in spades.
Race 7: Seems ENTZ sail plan choice for Te Rehutai paid BIGLY with the first lead change during a beat, and defo a gulp moment seeing the Kiwis average 3knts faster for the remainder of the legs.

(Ouch)

Though for sure Jimmy’s earning his fee for bossing both race starts… Quote of the day Pete Burling: “It’s definitely the more tense side of sailing”

Stressful viewing too, for any Italian sailing fans watching - no one saw a lead of that magnitude evaporating during Race 8. Fantastic dig deep from the Kiwis hauling it all back. Bravo!

Seems tomorrow is on, with light winds predicted so jib choices once more proving pivotal. No pressure then on the team weather gurus at all.

Game on.

Looks like plagiarism. Are these reallly "your girls"?

Weather forecast from one of the better forecasting services

8-10 is optimum range? for ETNZ? does seem so in last few races!

You haven't been here long, have you?

What an invaluable asset for LR Team is James Spithill! Apart from his incredible starting capabilities, I mean. His winning attitude was key to bring us at this point. And what a good partnership in the afterguard with Checco and Pietro. Very proud of our boys, fantastic sailors!

Go LR. Nothing is lost until the end.

Domani cazzimma estrema!!!!!!!! #daicazzo!
