Thank you. I enjoy your contributions to AC Anarchy.

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.

The likelihood that the boat goes 10% faster in any condition is hard to believe. these are fast and top of the field but improving constantly.

Regardless I hope they are better its meant to be a good fight.

regarding higher mode etc. why would ETNZ have shown their high mode against a bench marking race doing it in training is the place for that and ultimately high mode if it is not a VMG improver is purely strategic to get out from under or pushing to a lay pinching etc.

I would agree.

But I remember Max Sirena saying that they were hitting a glass ceiling in the RR in higher wind range. He told they eventually figured out where the setup/handling mistake was.
So it's not that unlikely that kind of improvement in that specific range.

glass ceiling  ??

LOL bad English, actually. I'll try again: They were hitting a "performance wall" that was way below the boat target.

After that meeting one hears that Max found Jimmy's big bag of sand and threw it over

Performance glass ceiling wall ??

Comunque era chiarissimo, era solo per prendere un po' per il culo visto che qui di regate non se ne vedono ancora per un pezzo

They converted the sand to glass?

They converted the sand to glass?

That's how it's done, isn't?

 

[strider470]

But then they build the wall with the glass?

 

[Thewas]

They built a wall with a glass of performance and the sands of time. A foiling wall, of course.

Per fare il vetro, ci vuol la sabbia, (ma anche) per fare il muro  ci vuol la sabbia. Non importa se sei vetro o muro, l'importante è la performance. Il soffitto invece che c'azzecca?

Waiting for the race, here some old videos.

Is there already any topic where to put legacy America's Cup videos?

Only so they can crash through it in spectacular fashion, I'm sure...

That would be "the" picture. Man how I miss being a photographer... (OK, perhaps crashing an AC75 through a glass wall would have been a bit over my skills/possibilities)

Agreed mate, it would be cool if you could even apply a tag(s) to a post, and then be able to search using those tags, different tags for each cup cycle, challenger etc
