They lost that bid because they revealed too early.
Like everyone they try to keep their advances secret.

100% correct.
But that is part of the game and they didn't play it well enough.
If they'd managed to keep it secret for 6 more months they would have won hands down IMO.
Hence, the cyclors, wing control and super long wings were introduced well past the point where they could be copied.

Yup, doesn’t hurt to remind them when they plead poverty/shoestring budget and wring and a prayer challenge
that kiwi ingenuity had a distinctly Italian flavour, listen to the Shirley interview with Paul Goodson. he talks about how far along they were before it was canned, then watching NZ Rock up.

I think this is showing they were, unless the recon photog was posting old content. Sometimes their videos lag the others in posting time, not sure why.

Also noticed a bit of extra cloth at the clew of the jib.
Nice curve toward the winglets, though otherwise quite a flat foil.
Leech looks nice and tightly shut.

That new port foil is pretty flat and slender. Not draggy much, I'm thinking.

No, they wonder why you're so stupid. With stupid comments like "The LEQ12's aren't designed for fast sailing" then walking it back with the old Trump defence "just because thats what i said, doesn't mean thats what i meant" and now your latest clanger calling the AC75's "lumbering dinosaurs" how did that bleach taste when you drank it?

Hey guys, do you have any insights on the whereabouts of Jimmy Spithill? It seems like he hasn't been part of the LQ12 crew in the past few weeks.

Spark arena is in Auckland NZ
Appears to be some kind of fashion show & he's congratulating the winner ☺️

JAL. You're such a tease. You'd agree more 'distinctly flat' than 'W-shaped' though, right?

Haha thanks for translating. So putting it together then all we can say is JS was watching this guy's fight, which he won, and Jimmy is congratulating him by posting a photo of when they once met in NZ. Apologies then, it doesn't appear to answer any part of your question as to his whereabouts..
