This race also defines a weakness of the class. The ability of the boats to get on foil, in light air. We watched them being towed up on foil in the pre start. In this race, a 2 kilometer deficit turned into a 2 kilometer advantage for NZ. The boats should be able to easily get on foil. Either increase the minimum wind speed or increase the foil area. No more towing onto foil. The boats should get up on their own

[@davemckenna8591]

true , but both dropped because of bad decisions

[@WhatAboutTheBee]

@@davemckenna8591 Hi Dave. Dropping off foil during a race is separable from being towed up onto foil pre-race. The race should start with both boats parked, at 0 knots, in tight separate boxes in the larger start box. They start and must get on foil, on their own, at the beginning of the race. This would put a premium on the ability and thus, should a boat fall off foil during a race, it would definitely be able to get back on.

[@mitchand9]

@@WhatAboutTheBee that's just more work for the grinders. So you're suggesting the grinders begin grinding before the prestart? And then continue to grind during the prestart and don't stop grinding until the race is completed? That's just unnecessary hard labor.

[@WhatAboutTheBee]

@@mitchand9 Hi Andrew! The following is polite discourse on your statements. It simply does not follow that the grinders will have to work more if the AC75s start as displacement hulls. It is well known, that for a given foil area, lift is proportional to velocity. In shorthand, we have lift=f(velocity, foil area). To generate more lift, your statement assumes that the area of the foil cannot be changed and that it will all come down to velocity. Further, that velocity can only come through sail adjustment and therefore grinder effort. I contend, however, that lift=f(velocity, FOIL AREA), and as such, to generate more lift given a constant velocity, we need only increase foil area. Which drives the engineering away from being towed onto foil and races in which a 2 kilometer lead turns into a 2 kilometer deficit. But let us now examine the role of the grinder. In my view (your milage may vary), the grinder is superfluous. With the introduction of hydraulics to America's Cup, the committee sought to keep motors and engines out of sailing, as it wasn't very Yar. So human power was substituted and, as many teams discovered, having an Olympic athlete such as Matt Gottrel grinding was an advantage. With the current crop of AC75s, we see the canting foil arms powered by other than Olympic athletes. So an alternate power source seems acceptable. I suggest that we dispense with the intellectual dead end of human generated hydraulic power. We have taken it to the end of development. An Olympic athlete cannot do two races in one day, even if the race only lasts 25 minutes. Solution: Simply issue an electric motor, just as we have issued canting foil arms. The motor will produce a known torque at a known energy consumption. The batteries that power the canting arms power the hydraulics as well, via the hydraulic pump. The charade that the races are "human and wind powered" ends, as the canting foil arms puts paid to that thesis. Grinders are merely the human equivalent of a hydraulic pump. Nonsense. Issue a pump. The

[@mitchand9]

@@WhatAboutTheBee so redesign the boat during the regatta? Displacement mode would mean they arrive on the race course the next day. Realistically, these boats literally won't foil without power the grinders produce. You're nitpicking at something that isn't an issue.

[@mataijturner3346]

Nice when you predict the outcome four years ago and own it like you know it

[@geoffperkins8796]

I’ve watched this race several times and can only say that there should only ever be one captain on a boat. Everything was against the Kiwis ..their jib..the splash down….but the team was lead by one captain and that was the difference. The Italians seemed to be having a meeting to get consensus on what to do between the two captains.

[@hippopotamus6765]

Comparable to Hannibal at the battle of Cannae. The Italians with 2 commanders got massacred.

[@vsstdtbs3705]

Yes Francesco seems to talk just for the sake of it, without conviction. This blabbering can distract the concentration of others. In 2024 some Italians are stating the case for Bruni-Spithill replaced with Tita-Gradoni. The consensus issues flares up in the next race 9, when Spithill says to protect the right, then Bruni goes left.

[@johnmartin7158]

Considering the: size of the event, the money put in, and the quality of the video broadcast, the audio is horrific! Seriously bad. all it would've taken was for someone to mute the onboard mics to get rid of the obnoxiously loud grinding sound that pops off every 3 seconds. I couldn't even hear the commentators over it. Seriously bad. I hope the person in charge of audio has had a career change.

Cioe' se per trovare vento devo uscire di 500 metri invece che 40 non cambia nulla!! Pago i 50 metri di penalita' e FANCULO!!! Tanto con 2400 metri di vantaggio anche se esco di 500 metri per trovare il vento per non cadere dai Foil MA che Mi frega!!! O no??

It should be against the rules to shorten the race. As a kiwi I thought that was a bitch move.

[@jacksonj3082]

I'm critical of the announcers - they often include in their analysis "pressure, tricky, patchy" conditions without context, who has the advantage and why - Olympic sailors no doubt expert at their sport but don't know how to communicate with the general audience. Seems that their analysis includes a lot of BS'ing - "long way to go, opponent not going away". Is "pressure" an actual numerical measurement of wind against the sail that the racers monitor? The host announcers continuously ask Shirley for her take on the course - but can she really read conditions while in a fast moving boat low on the water - she rarely gives straight answers to the announcers questions, I mean if you are in fast moving boat on the water, can you actually tell wind pressure, wind direction, or water pressure against the boat and where it's patchy.
