Hey Mozzy! Answer my question. What's up with that change that ETNZ made on the bottom of their sail on race 7. They changed the bottom rear of their mainsail

[@donnamarie3617]

Hey Mozzy, I looked forward to your analysis after each day of racing! Great insight and you guys saw things that I missed and it was great to see your perspective. Could you guys do the same for SailGP! Would love to hear your take on those races! Cheers!

Best AC channel on the web by far. Evidenced by most interactive, engaged and thoughtful audience participation. Appreciate huge effort put in sleuthing, speculating, critiquing even the most obscure nooks and crannies in this "far fetched world" of AC design and racing. Good luck to all Mozzy folk. Wishing you fair breezes in a covid free sailing future. Hope to see you again on the next AC go round,

In ETNZ the most important word is TEAM. The people are a team, a group working as a unit; the boat is a team, all the parts working together as one package; and the two working together as a super-team.

Spot on. Burping, Ashby, Tuke, Junior etc been making their standard boats excel all their lives. It’s the generation of sailors that are also clever designers. Plus the ETNZ AI is superior at this stage. So proud of a wonderful TEAM.

Been following the AC for quite a few cycles now but your analysis has really helped me understand the intricacies of the sport. What a combo - the spectacular sailing on the Hauraki Gulf (a special place on Earth) and your insights on the technical attributes & sailing prowess of the teams. Go Mozzy Sails!!

[@Generative_Midi_]

I'm a sports fan rather than a sailing fan per se, but I'm hoping they have another AC regatta ASAP so we can hook back into you guys talking about it! You've de-coded the AC for me in the most entertaining and informative way and I very much appreciated it. Good luck getting a place on the INEOS team and see you next time.

[@ypsaj]

Really enjoyed watching all your coverage. You made the AC so much more interesting and accessible at a deeper level. I hope you bring the same insights to other high-performance classes. Specifically, I’d love to see good in-depth coverage of moths. Lots of interesting stuff happening in that class, but not very accessible for outsiders. Here’s a few topics I’d love to see covered from your engineering perspective. - Differences between Beiker, Exocet, Mach, Barbarossa, Thinair, etc. - Moth sails and rigging evolution - canting rigs, deck sweeper, etc. - all things foils - Hard vs soft wings - Upgrading older boats with new kit to stay competitive. Either way, looking forward to your coverage of the next AC!

You guys are the winner of this AC event! Simply the best channel trying to analyze what is hidden. Good knowledge you did put into the discussion.

[@ChrisPlow]

Thanks guys for the awesome analysis and views. Rob you nailed it with the longer lap penalty mark, it works great in MotoGP where riders are deliberately off track and yes it is bollocks that Sir Ben is hailed as the Governor, we know he’s an awesome sailor (in small boats) but not sure ultimate team player springs to mind. There’s some bloody good sailors on ITUK and feel sure there’s a bit of lip biting going on. Hope the racing went well, we’ve just got back from the North Sound Virgin Gorda BVI Easter regatta racing Corsair tri’s we came fifth which was a result for the Maytrix flakers, although to be fair there were only 5 boats in it the pre race night rum session didn’t really pay off🌴⛵️💨💨

[@diligentmindz]

Thank you all for all the brilliant analysis, a great combination of engineering knowledge and sailing experience. Absolutely perfect. See you in 4 years.

[@DanTuckerSails]

Excellent conclusion to brilliant commentary throughout the AC lads. Great technical and sailing insights, and a great sense of humour throughout (I particularly love the TTTE jumper and nomenclature). And you seem to have managed to provide insight to non-sailors and experienced sailors alike -that's an accomplishment. I've never been to HISC, though somehow I thought, "Is that Hayling Island?" when you were walking up to the deck. Probably because I work in the US, for a boatbuilder who sails there.

[@MozzySails]

Much appreciated!

[@bosoerjadi2838]

I like Rob's suggestion of drive-through penalties. As with the biathlon: missing a target means doing a round on the penalty course. The AC boats are so good and the crews are so clever and skilled that they only intentionally incur any rule violation, so only if it would net gain them an advantage.

Thanks so much for all your work and insight - you really helped me enjoy the Cup more than I thought possible.

[@mikethrower742]

Really enjoyed all your insight throughout the Cup....this was really interesting when you started talking about Ben...it was almost as if you were reluctant to talk about the team mentality within Ineos and you were the naughty schoolboys ! Ben is a fantastic sailor without any doubt but his biggest successes were solo and he could use his greatest attributes...... but within teams it is so different and in the airline world we have been teaching team skills for many years after realising that any breakdown in a team approach could lead to incidents/accidents or read that across to sailing as by not achieving your goals. It was always fascinating to me to watch great teams, average teams and poor teams perform in simulators and the resulting performances. The individual pilots were often very good as individuals but interaction with other personality types led to team breakdowns. The good news is that you can teach this stuff but to be receptive to it you must be willing to listen, accept feedback and act upon it which isn’t always easy with differing personality types.......... spending millions on boats is great but you need to invest heavily in people and their performances...... thanks again for your ‘chats’........

[@rbcg105]

This is exactly the kind of training the teams need to do. As you say you can learn great teamwork so that it seems natural.

[@Yairsuari]

Thank's Mozzy (and guys) for supplying a supreme sailing analysis Regarding the courses, there are so many inovative courses nowdays why not use them? for instance, why not sail a slalom race? or have a mark on the downwind you have to make a 360 around this will also make the design more versatile and help provide interesting racing at different conditions. Remember that the differences between courses are a critical factor in F1

Drive through penalty is a good idea Rob. You could have additional marks permanently laid in line with, and on either side of the windward / leeward turning marks that would have to be rounded to exonerate. They could be shifted up/ down wind to adjust the penalty dependant on wind strength/ conditions.

Hi Mozzy sails ! Rob makes extremely good points about NZ team culture. Basically NZ is built on egalitarianism and it certainly shows on the Kiwi boat. Everyone is purely equal in ETNZ.

ETNZ also had a high mode shown - they just positioned badly for most starts until the final one that counted.

Hi Mozzy, Are you going to do a similar thing with the Sail GP series? BTW I like Robs idea of the drive through the penalty. I can imagine a boat coming down the final leg taking the drive through at the leeward mark and then blocking the folllowing boat using the windward rule..

[@MarcHillM]

Good summary as ever. Spent a significant time of my early life at HISC and miss that place. Hopefully Sandy Point Bouy still doing its thing.

[@nicksargent2747]

As everyone else has said, best technical review of any of the channels. No favours to Ineos either (!). On the subject of going out of bounds, a boat going out of bounds should have to re-enter the course at a maximum only as far around the course as the point they exited the course. This would preclude the option, in the case of an upwind leg, of tacking back onto the course with pretty much no disadvantage. It would require a gybe around. Vice versa for a downwind leg.

[@murraybirdsall5048]

Hey Mozzie Great insight and evaluation of the AC downunder. Even though I’m old enough to be a traditional displacement race enthusiast and thought the cats were too radical a change I’m lucky to be a New Zealander and managed to be out on the water to watch these boats fly around the course in spectacular fashion. Man they move when they’re fly down to the bottom mark straight at you then gybe away! I think if Covid hadn’t affected the proposed World Series then the 3 defenders and of course team NZ would have had more time to learn how to sail these machines and would have probably created a closer series. Auckland summer light winds didn’t unleash these monsters, imagine what the racing would have been like in the upper range winds! I’d love to see a World Series for the next AC start in Cowes but to defend it outside NZ would be an injustice and make it just too commercial! Yes I’m a kiwi so never thought team NZ would lose but maybe round two in the AC75s? Thanks and I Ok forward to yr further insights for the next round! Cheers Ladysmith. You and the lads provided a well thought out and great technical explanation for these new designs! Even predicted the eventual winner way back, so great work and thanks for your efforts although maybe without the lock downs you might have been too busy with sailing yourself!!
