Actually more like " we were late starting but we are ticking through the tests and getting ourselves back on track and all teams will have times when they can't make as much progress as they'd like"

Which is true. AM are about to have a month off, at their current rate Ineos will have almost caught them in sailing hours by the time AM are back on the water.
All the teams schedules and strategies are plainly so different it is hard to make a direct comparison

Yes, a more accurate quote of that part.

As to the comparison with AM, it almost looks like AM when looking at the choice between AC75 development and LEQ foils testing chose... Both. In that order.

Go watch the RR races in the Prada cup. Which team looked a bit shit? it wasn’t INEOS.

personally whatever teams are doing now doesn’t bother me other than it’s nice content to see, the only thing that matters is racing when it comes to to the Cup

Their current campaign seems to be very similar to their last campaign, and the campaign before that. Everything is pointing toward yet another disappointing campaign by INEOS.

Combined with the recon reports these Mozzy vids have made this cycle one of the most fun so far, let's all endorse the fun and effort.

Him standing chest-deep into an almost-frozen lake to get a good shot of RC boats for the 'Scaling' video was amazing. His video editing skills are great too. But we need to get him a decent Drone, for when the right time comes - the recon teams are prohibited from using them but nothing I can see would prevent him or a partner from deploying one.

edit: there's a Brit who spends some weekends in Mallorca with a decent drone, I have reached out to him about tracking Ineos; he is looking into the possibility.

It's great. does that mean, this was a good idea ETNZ had?

It's certainly good for us, and for team budgets too. I suppose GD/ACE will profit off it for whatever 'Sail to Survive' shows come out, too.

I suspect that the spies of the past did a far more detailed job of tracking other teams' boats, we here just rarely saw any of that inside info. Except for during AC33, when some video of CatZilla from Lake Geneva and from off Genoa did get leaked.

Have we seen any AC related boats fully inverted in recent times? Seems most have flotation near the mast tip.

After initially lying on its side, T6 rolled over to fully invert in the water with mast and double skinned main sail submerged
