Speaking of sponsors, what ever happened to HP? Did their sponsorship end in 2020?

This is what's on the ETNZ homepage now, would have thought they'd all be on the boat somewhere alright, maybe on match day 1 she'll have updated decals?

Huawei gone too...

Only when she cocks her leg to piss on the opposition, so must be a minor sponsor.

I’m sure Toyota didn’t want the name anywhere visible. Stranger still that they didn’t veto it. 
 

Correction, I’m an idiot. Confused Hyundai with Huawei.

That is an old picture of B1.... Huawei on B2? Not so much

Ah, quite right - I didn't notice it was B1.

Thanks.  If it's ever possible, it would be great to see a clear high-definition pic of the raised foil, roughly perpendicular to the boat.

I'd be interested to compare their latest foil against the previous ones... it's been mentioned somewhere that they are even smaller, although I thought they were roughly the same area.  Please.

why does that remind me of a praying mantis  ?

 

[Filthy Phill]

With such radically different approaches to foil design...one is going to be right, and the other will be left rueing their choices

Can’t believe people fell for that for too long, the bars are full of that, worldwide. 

People still fall for it because of the "What if...."

Crikey Jasper you sound like you have a dose of COVID better rock off to a taxpayer funded universally available health care service for a test.

Nah, it's cup-itis. Often presents with other symptoms such as intolerable over confidence and disregard for silly things such as newtonian physics.

Thanks!   However, unless the foil is actually canted - the windward one - I don't have the skill to get a reasonable planform from it.

She looks to be foiling at impossibly slow speeds. Incoming tide too.
