@Baconator is hopeful. Until he gets the call from America Magic to head up the next campaign, he’s running short on cash.

At over 50 knots it's more slicing than jumping the poor animal I'm afraid, but thanks for the tip.

That other AC75 of theirs looks to have some pretty good VMG.
I wonder why they don't race that one in the cup instead?
I like your thinking mate, it'll be just like San Diego, everyone will think that's the race boat, then they show up with other AC72 and destroy the opposition

A recent cluster of COVID-19, which was found on Valentines Day, also sparked the continued ban on the use of dating apps such as Tinder, Bumble, Hinge and Grindr.

I've had a week off videos, but I thought this video from Vittorio d'Albertas is worth a watch as a balance to the video I put out about the mast foot on ETNZ.
Myself and Rob actually debated back and forth about the issues the Italian raise. How valuable is the sail area in the 'trench'? The ETNZ chaps were running tell tales on those pods just after the launch, so it's surely been an area of validation for the team themselves.
My initial thought was aligned with the Italians, in that the windward pod would create a bit of an obstacle for the air arriving to the sail, and that the tunnel may create a 'choke point' which the air spills out of.
Rob on the other hand was more convinced. He feels the pods are far enough aft they the wind isn't really going over them. And that the leeward pod may help keep flow attached around the leeward side.
Hard to know for sure... I guess answering these questions is why we have boat races!

It helps that the apparent wind 8s well forward I guess.

This seems like it would be a pretty easy thing to model. Tnz wouldn't have committed to that hull and deck shape unless they were sure there was a benefit.

I feel they are as much trying to convince themselves as they are their viewers. :mellow:
