Yes, that merits inclusion and was difficult watching. 

That was the mother of all choke jobs, but JvDV wasn´t ever a very high profile player. One may cynically claim that was a pure case of reversal to the mean.

He spoke very candidly about it afterwards and you couldn’t but help feel for him.

I give full credit to Tom Schnakenburg for his achievements in Sailing. But a good designer does not necessarily make a good leader. It was Toms campaign in 2003 when the rest of the team left. And it was that campaign that was a disaster for Team NZ. Not only did they get whitewashed 5 nil, but they failed to finish 2 races, their testing campaign was seriously compromised by their first boat being structurally weak, and having structural issues. They ended up towing NZL81 out onto the course to make it look like they were two boat testing, when in reality, NZL81 couldn't sail at all because of structural damage early on.

Consequently, they weren't confident in testing NZL82 in big breeze because of what happened to NZL81. SO you had a young, inexperienced race crew, racing a boat that wasn't tested in big breeze, with structural integrity issues, and it showed on day 1.

Tom Schnackenburg no doubt is one of the legendary designers in Americas Cup history, but a great designer isn't necessarily a great leader.

Richie McCaw is a great player, but that doesn't mean he would be a great coach.

Agreed, and remember all that bullshit time wasted with all the extra appendages fitted by the crew each time they left the Dock. 

Wasn't it DB that was against building one boat without the hula, saying why would you build one boat slower than the other, add to that the way the modified NZL81 performed without the hula in Europe was proof that the boat was quick without it

Very  interesting insight from philippe Presti performance coach of LR

https://voilesetvoiliers.ouest-france.fr/regate/coupe-de-l-america/video-america-s-cup-philippe-presti-coach-des-italiens-analyse-le-duel-face-aux-neo-zelandais-fb07ea96-78de-11eb-9cc7-52c7bf2f6234

30 mn is a bit long to sum up 

main info 

the recover alter RR was only du to improvment of handling. No secret weapon 

the use of the chase boat for match racing training following Vmg rules on a computer. Using flag to simulate board down

Having two top match racer as helmsmen have been key to improve each other while comparing relative performance as foil trimer/helmsman

he said itsnot that hard to helm. Its the combination of sail foil and helm which is a hell

 Hes happy to saw the rise of the wing trimer having more confidence in himself which majes a perfect trio 

in the simulator jimy and bruni only watch half of the screen to be in the same condition as in regatta. The work on communication and even wirding is a huge effort. This was the main weakness for ineos 

 

[herve.saulnier]

Concerning ETNZ 

Hé assume the difference in the foil

 larger for LR and easier to stand up on

smaller and potentialy faster for ETNZ

but LR foil has one wing to give the lift and the second one act has a board(un plan anti dérive -cherchez sur Google merde!)

Flat foils of ETNZ are much more unstable at high speed. So even at the high range he remains confident to have some strenghts to oppose

Truly superb, thanks!

Random points:

- the AC75 requires stability before being able to apply power (reminds me of the Pirelli motto, power is nothing without control)

- INEOS made a mistake by working on the boat instead of sailing. Their low wind performance was limited by foils

- he actually records conversation between JS and FB to optimize it

- he had to work on Pietro Sibello who is rather shy by nature and initially hesitated to confront the two world-class helmsmen

- for the Match, they changed a little something (laughs)

I needed the help from Google. I was asking too much to my poor level of French!

Bruni said LR improvement in strong winds since the RR is not less than 10%, without losing their shape in light winds at all, but they ignore what the performance of the kiwi boat will be in that range.
