Spain announces Youth and Womens America's Cup Challenge​

I mentioned this back in early July in this thread. I wonder why they waited two months to announce this.

The Entry Period to register for the Women's & Youth AC doesn't open until October 1st.

Dude. That's reportable. Check the racist shit at the door.

I would explain my comment but you are so fucking touchy it would be a waste of breath.

Live your own truth.

Anyone any idea when we are likely to see the first new boat come out of the shed and thus there be anything of interest?

The AC40 will be out soon in Auckland, and all the other teams can't be too far away. I think this time next month, we will all have more than enough to speculate over.

Ineos' AC40 is supposed to leave China next week. I believe it goes to Auckland for its fitout

Yet to be considered is the livery I imagine a one design brilliant red would suit the fleet well.

Funny.

Given the delivery schedules for the AC40's it seems very likely we will see teams launching different development beasts, starting soon. ETNZ may use an AC40 for development but the other teams have even tighter schedules to deal with.

I actually wonder if we will ever see Alingi's Boat Zero (Te Aihe) out again. They are rumored to be getting AC40's 4 & 5 but that's a pretty long way out.

Tnz send the foil packages to McConaghy boats to be matched with a hull and then its shipped out as a ready to assemble boat.

I have no doubt Te Aihe will be out again soon, it's their primary training vehicle and they'll want to be confident with the 75 before transiting to the 40.

With American Magic in operation by may, will they ship their 40s to Europe for assembly/ testing there?

FAST FORWARD – THE CITY OF BARCELONA IN 2024

A lot of questions are starting to be answered about what Barcelona can expect come September 2024 and the start of the 37th America’s Cup. To say that it will be like nothing before is an understatement.

Which teams apart from GB are building LEQ12s do we know? Basically the only development boat anyone can build, so unless you are absolutely sure of your simulator it seems an obvious choice

GB is the only team to have announced it so far, yes.

LR teased recently on Instagram about a launch of something coming soon.

Which seems odd. Simulators are great, but they are by definition a simplification of the real world environment. F1 simulators are more mature than AC ones and yet can miss something (see Mercedes this year, or other team in other years). And they do actual car testing to identify issues, resolutions and optimise configurations.

Given the extreme limitations in AC boat testing and changes, why would not every team want the opportunity of LEQ12 validation? Whether it is to test alternative solutions, boundary conditions or just verification of the exact conditions near the optimum solution would seem desirable

One thing is for sure, its good to see the end of Stingray and his boy Tom's mate Mark Dunphy. Like many of us always said... he was a no one that came out of no where, wanted his 15 minutes of fame, and once he got his ass handed to him, he would go back to being a no one. Good riddance.

Today I stumbled accross this...

The Ocean Race and Warner Bros. Discovery team up

The partnership includes ground-breaking production, live coverage and distribution

www.theoceanrace.com

That means all the Ocean Race content will almost certainly be available on Discovery Outlets & EUROSPORT. I was begging for this to happen.

So folks, if AC37 wants to have a really good Event they need to do the same thing. They need a BIG EUROPEAN TV DEAL and not just tiny TVE in Spain.

Maybe Warner Bros Discovery does the same thing for AC37? It would certainly be a good thing and there is most definitly a void to fill for them after the 2024 Paris Olympics.
