Can't see too much from the video but it is impressive that they will be sailing their second boat in early February!

I know the paint job does not win the race (well maybe one could say by the size of the logos equalling cash thrown at a team) but dear god its got the same ugly looking paint job as tractor #1. But then again who cares...let it be fast I say!
Only redeeming feature atheistically is that cool looking flag. Like it.

Actually, I liked the paint job on #1.
Not as much as Prada, but then those damned Italian's boats have always come in #1 for style and pure sex appeal!

I would like the team of five approch on the black canvas circa 1995, but with a amount that emirates have paid to keep this team afloat they should get there moneys worth.

Gone for 4 x 2s at the back there!
Yeah, only got to last a little while.
LMAO!

So any obvious changes?
Cut down & enclosed rear behind the rear beam.
Rocker looks a bit different, fuller aft?
I think the foredeck V is more pronounced & carried much further aft. Boat one flattened right off before the main beam, this one is still considerably V'd even aft of the main beam.
Freeboard looks similar, maybe even higher?
Hulls maybe a bit thinner? Crossbeam mount points look a bit further inboard than on boat one.
Working deck looks lowered quite a bit compared to boat one.
Deck/Grinder layout is changed, looks like front 2 further forward & a winch or the helm between the aft pair.

GD following his AC32 plan for success. Conservative boats that optimize his training time by getting them built and on the water before the other teams. That strategy almost got him the Cup during AC32. Lessons learned from from AC32 very well could put him over the top.
I am surprised to hear in that video that ETNZ hope to not have to take boat 1 out again. How much money for an AC72 that will only be sailed for 30 days? Man that is wasteful, and needs to change.
