America's Cup Day 6: Credit where it's due

[@grahamcook397]

Thanks Mozzy - you have contributed massively to the overall enjoyment of watching the Americas Cup series - before the racing started, during the preliminary rounds and on to the LV Cup and AC series. It was all the better for your insight and analysis. Thank you.

[@Kimmurial333]

Agreed. Great channel.

[@hisdadjames4876]

Well said. Lot of value added there. 👏🏽👏🏽

[@davidmay4386]

totally agree with the above ; good to have new in-sites into a completely different way of racing sail boats thanks Mozzy

[@antoinep9733]

Wot he said. As a non sailor, I’ve learned so much on this channel. Cheers from NZ 👋

[@philrietema596]

Totally agree with this comment. See you in 4 years

[@joshuawooler9170]

If they don’t hire you for the next cup they are crazy. By far and away the best commentary. This cup cycle wouldn’t have been the same without you.

[@leebarkle1641]

These guys have made watching this America’s Cup ,and the previous ones, far more enjoyable than it would be without them. Problem is, if they were commentating in an official capacity then they may have to watch what they say, and we would lose a big part of what makes Mozzy Sails so good. Hopefully they can get some more sponsorship, not directly related to the America’s Cup organisation, that might allow them to spend more time covering and/or travelling for the cup.

[@skeetamacgyver1821]

Absolutely fair call - great job mozz!

[@CP-nd3pj]

To be fair he barely put out a video during the match. Shouldve been daily. I like mozzy but he let us down this time around

[@GiovanniRigodanza]

i rarely comment on youtube video, but just wanted to thank you - as an Italian Luna Rossa fan i have found your analysis always very insightful and a huge factor as to why I got so much into this cup as opposed to the previous ones. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to AC38

[@jeremysmith5232]

Prada boat was hugely impressive once again, another very tight cup cycle, cannot believe we came out on top again, so humbled by the talent of our team against such impressive boats, but we will take the win . . .

[@pushbikerider1980]

By a country mile the most incisive commentary before and during the cup. Thanks mozzy!

[@jesseferguson4269]

From a kiwi well done Ineos. They were worthy finalists. A shame we didnt get more conditions like wednesday that appeared to suit them more but such is sailing and mother nature. Thanks as well Mozzy, your content has been incredibly insightfull.

[@kenvenn1848]

Thanks Mozzy. As alwasy insightful and interesting. Between you and Mathew Sheahan the best cup coverage hands down. You should join forces for a wrap up show.

[@ManuelPanzera-s8l]

They should both be guests to the Inside tack..!

[@mrlee9213]

The dynasty reigns supreme 🇳🇿🏆

[@Wigglasworld]

As a kiwi living in NZL, I would like to thank you for your knowledge of sailing that you taught me.. Hears to the next America’s Cup challenger!

[@MozzySails]

Great to hear!

[@GeoffGummer]

I agree with Graham Cook, you have made this whole thing more interesting, and helped me understand what is happening as a non sailor. As a kiwi I appreciate you upping the brits but still keeping as unbiased as you can.

[@imjmones]

Thanks Mozzy! You are a big part of the fun of the America's Cup! Very specially in the build up phase... when everyone is still trying to figure out the boats potential (and you already had). You made the America's Cup 6 months longer for me. Craving in anticipation. For AC38 I hope you continue to do what you do so well, and I hope that you might get support to do it with even more resources.

[@richardmosley4549]

I'm not a sailor and know F all about sailing, but I've loved your channel, loved the way you guys help explain things and look forward to the next time! Thanks Mozzy!

[@In_42_Space]

Happy Kiwi here. Have loved your insights and your detailing of why different teams were getting advantages. Has made this America’s cup even more interesting, thank you so much for all your work. ❤❤

[@dosto-evsky]

Kiwi in AUS love your analysis, going to miss it until the next cup. Thank you for the coverage, congradudolences. #ETNZBRITTANIA.

[@TheCruisingKiwis]

Ditto

[@jeremysmith5232]

great coverage Mozzy, come to NZ for the next one mate, nothing beats watching it from the water, especially in the sheltered waters of Auckland courses. Ineos have had a great campaign, they were fighters, loved their battle with Prada particularly. Dennis Connor said it best- the race is won before the first race starts, it is all in the preparation, fastest boat takes all in a seven race series. Another great cup cycle finishes leaving you wanting more, bloody legendary.

[@jameslittle8891]

Need two thumbs up for this one 😉

[@sassthathoopie]

@@jameslittle8891@jeremysmith5232 It's the fact that this regatta was not "sailed in the sheltered waters of New Zealand" that made it such a good one. The variability of the conditions added hugely to the spectacle. If it is sailed in Kiwi waters could you choose somewhere that gets some waves. At least then there might be some cross over to other forms of sailing.

[@michaelransfield1413]

I read a comment about how Mozzy Sails filled a massive information gap way before any actual racing got underway and I am really thankful for that too. Made the long wait for action so much more tolerable. Also, I'm so grateful for the knowledge I've been able to gain as a non-sailor from watching your channel. My one and only sailing experience was with a schoolmate in his P-class - which was an absolute disaster! He never offered me another stint. I rate you up with Glenn Ashby as a commentator and the America's Cup organisation would benefit immensely if they had you on board. Here's hoping for AC38. Thank you so much for everything! Michael (NZ)

[@diligentmindz]

Well done Mozzy, incredibly useful commentary. Nobody does this it better

[@wwfgumby]

Thanks from here in Australia. Great commentary.

[@paulspence8672]

Thanks Mozzy. Each and every team involved in the LV cup or Americas Cup should be really proud of what they have achieved, regardless of the result. Fantastic regattas. Your insight over the last few years has been amazing also, and made the whole process fascinating. Big thanks from here in N.Z.

[@damoknows1543]

I don't know much about sailing mate, but watching your videos after watching each race made it so much more entertaining. From a Kiwi in Oz, thank you for your hard work

[@skeetamacgyver1821]

Does anybody still live in NZ? They all seem to live in Brisbane or Perth!

[@damoknows1543]

​@@skeetamacgyver1821 I don't think so mate, the migration is complete 😅

[@jeremyrameka1634]

From Nz , not sure why we’re good at sailing. But been following the americas cup as a kid. Love it

[@davefellows]

Great job during the cup Mozzy. Congrats to TNZ, class act. Solid effort from INEOS.

[@joeypierantonis7576]

4 years ago, i didnt know anything about sailboat racing, now i know very little! Thats all thanks to you Mozzy! Cheers mate!

[@Chris.Davies]

I'd say it was great work by Ineos, to take 2 races from the Kiwis. It's a very big ask to take the cup from a properly funded ETNZ. Thanks for all your analysis, over the last year or so, Mozzy.

[@christopherknight8248]

Thanks Mozzy, great channel and content, has really added to the enjoyment of AC37 for me.

[@BruceThompson_google]

Good stuff Mozzy; great job! I've really enjoyed the technical nitty gritty stuff you delve into. Look forward to the debrief with Rob & Tom whilst sinking some pots! Always good when you guys have had a few.

[@Drifty325i]

Awesome coverage and analysis mate, unbiased, Ineos can be extremely proud of their effort, especially considering where they were at the start! Well done ETNZ, pure class 🎉 proud Kiwi

[@RodQTNZ]

Thanks for the huge effort you put into this. Much appreciated.

[@radarriau]

Thanks a lot Mozzy for the reconnaissance and terrific analytics. let's hope they do 1st to 9 races in AC48 and a higher wind minimum in a windier area, larger sea state, foils with more free board... gladiator style. Cheers, mate. Time for some big fleet Sail GP Racing. Love New Zealand's twin skin adjustments. I thought the Italians had a pretty nice kit as well.

[@martinpaul6146]

I must say Thankyou. I am new to this, pushed by a very good New Zealand friend! But have used you to learn about what is going on and how things affect the race.learnt a lot and am hooked, please keep it up. Thank you 🙌🙌

[@greylynnn]

Thanks for sharing your perspective of the different factors of this competition. Have really enjoyed you and your mates learning with us as all the teams have taught us about their solution to the equation of the Americas Cup. How lucky are we to be living in this era of sail!! It’s madness!! Go Kiwis!!

[@grahamcostello6705]

well done. massive contribution to the event. Loved all the technical analysis.

[@mlusiak]

I'm new to AC and boats stuff in general, came here from F1 through INEOS / Mercedes partnership. You made wrapping my head around this new, complicated world so much easier. Thanks a lot for all the great content!

[@jameslittle8891]

Nice, I’m in F1 too, Kiwi working in composites for McLaren, sailed in NZ as a kid. Love these boats and where they can go in future as well as the tech filtering into other boats. All the best for future Ineos campaigns and the rest of the season with Lewis and George 👍

[@vnemax7044]

You and your mates are just plain and simple good Buggars that love the sport -/ .

[@dermotkelly4855]

As a kiwi non sailor I loved listening to your observations even though I didn't understand most of them it was great to see such an objective commentary

[@giuseppegullo-d4f]

Thank you for your commentary I really enjoy. Good job. I wish the Italian had a good channel like yours. A presto

[@sandysoundy]

Man, you were great at breaking down the sailing and the science in a way that was engaging. Hope to see more of what you can do, especially for the next edition of the cup! I started my build of Taihoro today, it's epic!

[@juranurminen4227]

Your channel has added quite a lot what comes to following the AC. THX a lot 👍🏼 One thing that caught my eye abt ETNZ manoeuvres. It looked like they lowered the foil arm a lot later. To me it looked often that the arm started lowering almost at the same time the boat started turning, in comparison to others, who's manoeuvres started both foils down (it may be it only looked like it)

[@cgoliver7]

Thanks for your very informative videos, pretty much watched all of them. As a TNZ supporter I loved your unwavering support and slight bias for your team. Great contest, bring on the next one!. Cheers!

[@mikeh996]

What an amazing time I've had with you! From finding you on yt listening to you while living on beach rd akl. I feel like I've shared something with you even though we've never met😊 I hope it's only the beginning 🙏

Four more years, four more years, or three as the case maybe. Thanks Tom from down hear in NZ. Your channel and analysis has been a must have part of the cup experience the last two cycles. Without it the cup build up would have been a flop.

Cheers Mozzy for your expert advice and opinions on this 37th Americas Cup. Really enjoyed watching your videos. What a ride it has been.

[@simplerefinedliving9285]

Congratulations Ineos. You put a really strong campaign together. Its not an easy cup to win, thats why we all love it so much. To Mozzy, once again an absolute privilege to follow this cycle again with you. Level headed, insightful, unbiased an appareled level of commitment. A true gentleman and can't thank you enough. See you on the carrousel for another ride??

[@stephendensley5817]

Thanks Mozzy and friends, always excellent, insightful , great graphics, and not afraid to put your theories out there! Well done and thank you for putting the hours of work in, and creating the best AC commentary. I hope that you get more involved in AC38!

[@DaveandGinny972]

It’s been great Mozzy, following the 37th along with you these past four years! Can’t believe it’s all going to be starting again soon. I think it took Alan Bond and Australia 4 goes at it before grasping it from America in 83. Really feel for Ben and the team, but they can hold their heads high as they gave it everything, and smashed a few British records along the way. Thanks for all your hard work and facilitating insights along the way.

[@waytoplaytoys]

Thanks Mozzy ! Was great watching and learning all the background in the AC 37

[@deanswanson5804]

Great stuff Mozzy & thank your pals too. I'm looking forward to your deeper dive into the AC. Wish there was more jeopardy in the races but always been a design race. Credit whereits due to you, far & away the best analysis afaik

[@purpledragonable]

Awsome detailed analysis of the tech throughout this AC. Really brought a new level the understanding the complexities of these boats (and for me, better understanding of my own dinghy sailing). Thanks

[@jameslund-lack1229]

Big well done to team NZ, very impressive indeed and thank you for the well informed content Mozzy, it made a huge difference to my experience of the cup. The only mistake the Brits made was turning up to the pre match press conference in white slacks, cucumber sandwich ready, whilst their competitors were in technical gear ready to do business……

[@chuckbuckley6425]

Thanks Mozzy, I have thoroughly enjoyed your content for the last of couple years on the run in to the cup. Great insight and very balanced commentary on all aspects, I've learnt so much about the boats and racing from you. As a kiwi, I had hoped for a closer AC37 racing series... with the same result of course. Loved the banter from you and your British mates. Look forward to the next one!

[@markhield3088]

Thanks Mozzy, very much appreciated all your analysis of the Americas Cup, very insightful and gave much food for thought.

[@garyconway7493]

Totally the go to channel for the AC technical addict Mozzy. Thanks for all the entertainment and explanations

[@Penguinracer]

Tom, thank you for your really detailed, technical & incisive analysis. For both AC tragics. & sailing enthusiasts generally your coverage has brought AC 37 to life. Congratualtions ETNZ and thank you INEOS Britannia for being worthy, dangerous & innovative challengers. The good news is that Dalts is looking for a quick turnaround so as to capitalise on the momentum for all the teams, sponsors and sailors.They're looking at trying to introduce a budget cap - something which he says they'd need to pressure test with all the kinds of stakeholders who would seek to circumvent it. If the venue can be settled quickly he was talking about the next Cup being in '26. Grant Dalton is a Formula 1 enthusiast who races in the Isle of Man Classic TT. He welcomes F1 technology into the Cup & I think it was through that lens that ETNZ identified that between foil cavitation & sail efficiency, the top AC 75's were pretty much hitting a top speed ceiling. Given that top speeds were all largely the same that really left the manoeuvres and acceleration as the other areas of the performance envelope where significant gains could be found.

[@mertonhartshorn5974]

Without your commentaries, analysis and interpetations I would have given up on the Americas Cup entirely ages ago. For the last few races I turned off the LV commentary, made my own observations and then watched your post match comments for sensible insights. One team had a consistently faster boat across a wider range of conditions and won the Cup, another team had a fast boat and displayed better tactics across a wider field to become the runner up. Your videos have provided technical insights and explanations understandable to both sailors non sailors alike and without corporate puff or turning every quirk of development into a drama during the months of build up and the main event. Many thanks, and roll on the next one!

[@jcrotty18]

Average wind speed across any of the given matches never exceeded 9kN. There was no "range" of conditions save races 7-8 that had moderate sea state, but low winds. Pity that INEOS won out as the challenger in a wide range of conditions (e.g., some would say freakishly high at times), but were ill positioned against a ETNZ that thrived in weak conditions.
