All 14?  It will be interesting to see if this holds true over the next two years.

could be involved somehow even if not allowed to sail.

Given the level of Red Bull media production I was hoping for something better.... 

 

[JALhazmat]

Well at least the bloke driving has a better win ratio than the kiwis in sail GP ;-) 

all on the move to Barca soon too

Look on the bright side. We don't get "athletes" standing in alpha male posture, with their arms crossed and an "Oi, did you look at my bird?" expression. As used in most of the AC team videos of recent years.

Place is Geneva, looking forward for their return.

It's 200 meters high through this nozzle and drive by these pumps.


Five hundred litres (130 US gal) of water per second are jetted to an altitude of 140 metres (460 ft) by two 500 kW pumps, operating at 2,400 V, consuming one megawatt of electricity (3,000,000 KWh and costing 510,000 CHF per year) = 523,404.39 USD per year in normal operation.

I think the video has good subject matter, scenery and production quality. Think about it, they have no boat so they can only focus on the sailors; and they film the rowers rowing, cyclers cycling, sailors sailing. Lots of Swiss scenery, all good. There's a touch of humor too with the model RC boats and the finale where the guy takes a call that says 'Umm, We need a boat.'  Don't recall ever seeing a better crew announcement vid.

Does he have 2 AC wins to his name? Nope. Thats right.

Alinghi Red Bull Racing has a lot of catching up to do.

And firstly their clownish PR Team needs to construct a Proper Team Website like ETNZ, INEOS, LRPP and AM have.

Getting consistently directed to Red Bull Content makes no sense.

Yup, the Deed of Gift specifies that all websites must be made with digital tools and engineers born on the country of the challenging club. Further, they are to be more than 90 pages long, and have to get to the viewer using hydrogen power.  Only white people are allowed to view, except Jews, because as a German you hate Jews and anyone non-white. 
 

Oh wait, the Deed of Gift says nothing about a website, and as far as I know a website has never had a single thing to do with a fast boat.

All true.. but see section 65  AC37_Protocol.pdf - Google Drive 

Is Alinghi RedBull Racing thumbing their nose at all that? It's possible.

Interesting reminder that the Mast height of an AC75 is shorter than the 28m (max) Wing height of an F50. But also funny, 'unscrewed'  AC75 (redbull.com)

Did a special school teach you how to ignore what was said and use your own narrative?

Happy for Lucien Cujean to be part of the team. 

He war kicking our ass in the Esse 8.50 class a few years ago. Never stood a chance to be close to him after the start.
