Geeez. Can't wait until these guys get down here to Auckland and we encourage Weta, mikeNZ and RG train their cameras on them.
Then we'll get see what they're made of. I suspect they're right on the pace too.

A tip when posting URLs: you can remove the ? and everything after it (the query string).

At best I'm 2.5km away, up to 13km - so no use from my vantage point sorry.https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32840168789.html?spm=a2g0o.detail.1000060.1.69cb6faat8yhPO&gps-id=pcDetailBottomMoreThisSeller&scm=1007.13339.169870.0&scm_id=1007.13339.169870.0&scm-url=1007.13339.169870.0&pvid=75548ebe-ef26-420c-92ee-eb88a98ecae5&_t=gps-id

i found a 5km model the other day
that should be good enough ( lacking anything else )
for the odd reading
it does golf yes ( or anything requiring ranging )
its use for whats important here however
is
the speed function

here is a 2.5 km model ( with all chopped after the ? .. thanks rob )

But it doesn't correlate wind direction...so about as useful as tits on a lobster for getting an idea of who gets to the top mark first.

Well..if you serve some up I'll be keen to enjoy it with beer .
I reckon with the huge cant angles available with this class, we will see the winning team pull some astounding angles or vmg out of the bag. The original designers,etnz,although arguably biased, have said this boat will eat up the track. And it will be angles we have never seen before that will do the eating. I'm not sure we have had any good observations on this other than smack daddy and his yellow line tacks..and then not even

not going to be able to get good vmg data till race day
louis v at earliest and possibly not till the ac will the best come out
the ac after this one should attract a lot of interest
known tech
proven concepts
enough sailors and designers on the market to guarantee a possible success
truly an inspired idea
working well
going to be worth watching .. for sure

massive assumption there that they'll use the same boats again. Long time since that's happened even when teams (oracle) have defended successfully. At the rate the world is going the next AC will have 1.5m social distancing rules built into boat specification and clear rules on the size of the Prada logo for your face masks.

they dont have to use the same boats again
just the same tech ( foiling mono's )
i cannot see them going away from foiling ( they might but i see the odds favouring it )
which means there isn't a lot of options left
