Five's a Crowd in Barcelona | June 12th | America's Cup

It was busier than the Ramblas on market day out on the Louis Vuitton 37th America’s Cup racecourse with all five teams fighting for prime positions and eager to spy the performance profile of each other - regardless of what they may say in interview afterwards. And it was a perfect spying day with a huge variety of breeze through the afternoon, starting at an un-sailable 5 knots and peaking at 19 knots by the close of play. Fascinating day in beautiful Barcelona.

Less then what’s on the peddles. That’s a true professional answer

[@giuseppeaccardo8580]

In America's Cup the faster boat wins, but the best sailors can make the difference as well. Last Cup Ineos and AM looked fantastic and LR looked okaish but then LR came out victorious not even having the faster boat, the faster boat was AM for sure but on a straight line only, their maneuverability and the way they sailed their boat was not so good in the end. You can try to guess as much as you want but I am sure that we are going to get some suprisises come August

[@enzeda]

All great boats and crews, viva AC competition.

[@joblack3991]

LR is very consistent... that's the key to win the Old Mug.

[@SeanKeeney-c8b]

I cant wait to see these guys in a month and a half

[@williamgarver2557]

It would be REAL NICE for the video photographers to give us a new view for insight, like a drone of some photos from above. This could give us some intriguing viewpoints on how the boats are doing. Just saying, :)

[@roderick167]

I vaguely remember drone or Arial view is disallowed in the rules

[@jamesaron1967]

@@roderick167 I recall something to that effect as well.

[@williamgarver2557]

The teams have drones that they use strictly for just their boat. But are we saying news teams can't use drones or other flying craft?

[@AmericanMagic]

It is not permitted from the AC Recon team, but we have drone footage on our channels! 👀🪄

The reporter's volume in the second interview was too low.

[@CaptainRon1913]

Damn, some of these questions are terrible. Can't you guys find someone who can do an entertaining interview?

[@THIS_IS_SPARTA666]

Running out of interesting things to talk about I think. 😅

[@kevinjones-ch7pr]

What would be the faster, an AC75 or a sail GP

[@nroose]

Wow, at 16:23, you can see the spreader swinging forward and back. I definitely don't know anything but that does not look good to me.

[@seekandUshallfind]

Team Orient Express &, Team Ineos Brittania ... IMO ... front running contender for upcoming challengers serie.💪🤙💯

[@bobdillon1138]

I think it will be closer than you think performance wise this is basically the third iteration of these boats if you take into account what they will have incorporated from the AC40s so advances in handling and speed will be incremental sailing ability reliability and more than your fair share of luck is going to be a big factor imo.

[@scottlewis7219]

The cup starts October I think Prada and American magic will b in the final with American magic racing against team nz for the America's cup

[@Rascallucci]

That is my guess too. The American boat looks slippery.

[@HERU-ls9jn]

Good call . AM is looking very good as is LR

[@harpoonharpoon6259]

No la finale sarà tra Alinghi e Luna Rossa dove quest'ultima gareggerà contro team New Zeland. American Magic ha potenzialità ma non scordiamo l'esperienza acquisita nell'ultima finale da Luna Rossa che la porta ad avere un margine superiore agli altri competitor.

[@riccardoferrarresi4995]

Già, penso sarà così purtroppo. Se LR non trova degli sviluppi ulteriori che possano migliorare la velocità e la stabilità sarà dura battere gli Americani. Ovviamente parlo di niente perchè non ho nessun dato oggettivo ma solo sensazioni.

[@damageincorporated8558]

I don't like the Rule that the boats can't line up, just let them get it on if they want to, the challengers should have some advantages too 🤙

[@roythompson6137]

That's why it's the Americas Cup... Winner makes the rules and they will always favour the defender...

[@firstnamelastname2669]

Would make this extended period most interesting for sure.

[@danbrown4090]

Via, mi sbilancio, LR vs AM in finale di LV Cup😅

[@remotabanelli4583]

La stessa cosa che penso io. E probabilmente anche la scorsa volta senza l'incidente e la errata manovra di AM sarebbe andata nello stesso modo. AM aveva mostrato di non essere semplice da manovrare ma era comunque molto ma molto veloce quando navigava in linea retta. Probabilmente alla fine la maggior manovrabilità avrebbe comunque favorito LR ma sarebbe stata credo molto più dura che con gli inglesi..

[@TeTutae]

Do the sailors recognise when other teams try to pull off new turns or operate new tactics? Which team looks the most ready to go? Of the 5 boats on the water today who had the best screw up? I have sooo many more questions. This is a very interesting period before the big dog turns up. These guys better get better or TNZ gonna eat their lunch.

[@roythompson6137]

Little puppy with no BCN experience... 😂😂😂

[@Mike00982]

When do they start sailing for the cup

[@MrGoZiva]

august i think

[@roythompson6137]

22-29 August is the preliminary Regata then onto the Luis Vuitton Round Robins.

[@remotabanelli4583]

the english are (judging from what we have seen so far) seems the less stable on flight they are constantly going up and down.. LR and AM are the more stable boats on flight.. May be that these two are more easy to control? Can't wait to see the kiwis...

[@firstnamelastname2669]

I wonder if that's because their rudder is providing downforce?

[@provaassemblea8063]

[@OskarsKaminskis]

It's laughable how guys try not to say anything except what is obvious. Interview basically is interviewer telling what he has seen happening. Anything else is "Can't say" 😅

[@giuseppeaccardo8580]

Yeah it's very annoying, every sailor sees the other boats sailing everyday but for some reason "it's very hard to tell" who's faster. The interviewer asks everytime but he knows already he's not gonna get any answer. Lame

[@lazios]

It's too funny to read the comments of people who, just by watching some videos, have established the fastest boat, the most stable etc. 🤔 The crews of the teams still don't know, "our" KZbin experts instead already know everything; why you're here? You should be working on board to tell what needs to be made, what needs to change. 😎😄

[@brutusbarnabus8098]

As long as they run these foils I will devote no time to this event. Bring back the real boats and ditch these Water World boats.

[@tui_ak93]

These boats are amazing?? What do you mean LOL

[@number1genoa]

1930,s: I don't like these J Boats , bring back real boats. Post WW2, I don't like these new fangled 12 Metres, bring back the J boats. 1990,s : I don't like these IACC boats, bring back the 12 metres. 2000,s Get rid of these catamarans and bring back the Monohulls. 2020,s Bah humbug !!

[@Lennyfromwork]

Have you watched those old races lately? Boring as fxck. If you didn't know - the tactics are exactly the same but much faster to occur, the only real difference is the covering angles are similar upwind and downwind, with the wind shadow more narrow and basically straight behind rather than old school 45° cover upwind, 270° downwind.

[@freddywulf2024]

Listening to this interviewer's silly interactions is pure torture! OMG!
