Great video, the recon public photos are lacking much detail, would be interesting to see more of what this is.

I might be wrong here as have not spent much time looking, but can't seem to find anything about GD moaning about a softbank/oracle partnership. Not even a bad word about DB helming/CEO the JPN team.

The Kiwis, who squandered an 8-1 lead in San Francisco in 2013, will head to Bermuda again trying to claim yachting’s most prestigious prize.
Complaints from him about the framework agreement essentially cementing future cups, YES, total hypocrite there.

Could be the force sensing matrix^, could be they stuck their 360° camera behind a bent bit of plexiglass?Great video, the recon public photos are lacking much detail, would be interesting to see more of what this is. View attachment 573298

Speaking about the sail programme, Nathan Outteridge gave a fascinating insight and when asked about the inversion he responded: That’s the beauty of development sails, isn't it? And doing multiple iterations of sails you try and work out what wind range you want the sails in and what you want them to do up and down the wind range. It’s no secret that you want them flatter when it’s windier and deeper when it’s lighter and a lot of our sailing so far has been middle to upper end and we’re really looking to try and get the two boats in the water in the lighter breeze to see how our sail design programme is going. And also, there’s benefits of having an auto pilot keeping the boat really nicely locked in versus manual flight and having two boats that are identical etc and how you sail them. It’s fascinating for us, we learn lots from that and it's pretty insightful to go back and review the data and try work out how you can improve.”
Naming ceremony for Te Kakahi. Means Orca apparently, and not fresh water mussel as google told me...

Te Kakahi has been named right from being first splashed. A easier way to identify the boats is to check the colour of their prods and comms. masts.
AC40-1 (LEQ12) - neon-yellow. AC40-3 - black.

America's Cup: Team NZ's critical design decision
Ceremony to name new AC40, but it's the plans for their AC75 to defend the Cup in Barcelona that holds the intrigue.

From Dan Bernasconi -
“The AC40 has exceeded our expectations. It’s a fantastic little boat. Its performance is good, it’s really good fun to sail, and it’s a great boat on the race course.
“Our younger sailors have been able to sail it really well with a pretty short learning curve. It’s not a trivial boat to sail but, getting instructions from our senior sailors, they have been getting up to speed quickly.”

But what does he know. Smacky tells us its impossible for youths to sail and he must know, based on his extensive experience.
All should listen to the Great Sage of high performance sailing.....

We could all sail the AC40 on Autopilot. Just like a Tesla, runs great until it crashes.
