What is clear is that the angle change/kink on the foil isnt articulated as you can see the end plate for the flaps to move next too.
also the change to steel flaps and hinge covers something prada featured last go

It all looks like a whole lot of drag to me.

These foils won't race so who cares. It's not about making them the fastest. Ability to adjust, maintain and validate is more important

Another boat made not to go fast? This is a habit that won't work well in the end game.

 

[JALhazmat]

That they have reappeared albeit in a very different aspect ratio, section and bulb design indecates they feel there is some validity to the concept so I wouldn't be suprised if a version of them does end up racing.

aside from the current external appendages the foils themselves, are bloody tiny and it looks to sail on it nicely from the brief footage from yesterday

It looks like a device out of the movie Rocketeer.

Is that^ another of your schatGP things? Or was it originally written in Sanskrit and you ran it through google translate?
What is an "...arm operated socket....", what is "...14th weight..." and how fat must Hunter's head be to make him 20% less aero than Ganna? Oh and if they are dumb enough to actually build a 75ft boat, well that's another 4 years and and a gazillion FracDollars wasted.


What's that? A tax-dodge you say, ah well then, carry on....

Yeah. But Rocketeer looks fast, Alchy.

Ganna Is on INEOS, you might just think that they have access to the numbers… unlike us

I think it was ripped off another article and something was lost in that process, perhaps deliberately

Numbers? Are you suggesting the Brackley special will have the cyclors exposed? Wow good thinking. Along with the Trabi boot hinges on their foils they are onto a sure winner.

Is David Attenborough on the Frackers design team.

 

[Dogfish]

I speculate that the new foil may allow them to make use of some of their old data as they may be able to work out a viable crossover and validate the old data in relation to the new. This could could be very useful in the long run.

No I am suggesting that hunter might possibly have a better ideas of the areo drag involved for a one hour distance attempt in a velodrome seeing as he is on the same team as Ganna.

 

[dreamingwet]

A little bit of a frustrating Day today for me as I was rooting for Filippo Ganna to win Milano - San Remo but that flying Dutch Cyclist Mathieu van de Pol, who won the Tour of Flanders last year, pipped him.
But that was one heck of a close Race though!
I am still a bit flummoxed why Italians struggle in this Race so much. Maybe it is because of the length? 293 KM, that is the longest One-Day Cycling Race.

Mallorca is the the longest one day race with 312KMs.

 

[Forourselves]

For a team that has admitted to not trusting their previous design tools for the last two campaigns, to now trusting the tools enough to build slow boats with slow appendages because "who cares? They're not using them to race" and have the ability to translate that slow data into super fast outcomes for the AC75, this team must look great to some! Its certainly the most outside the square approach, to purposely build everything slow to produce the fastest boat.
In all seriousness, this team is in trouble... again.
