After more than two years in design development and build and a being under wraps for her 1,000 mile road trip from Northamptonshire, UK to Barcelona, the new British AC75 is now out in the open.
She is the fourth of the new AC75s to be revealed.
Matt Sheahan takes a first look at what stands out on the British design.

Given the bow graphics on Britannia, I think “Bubbles” would be a great nickname!

@timoouwehand6178 Ай бұрын

Maybe the "bubble-wrap" will be removed when racing starts? 😁

Kiwi here - looks good, best of luck!

@davidwilliams6067 Ай бұрын

Sounds like most of the comments are from people of the British media (sunk before she’s sailed). For me she looks good and will play her part in the upcoming event well. Good luck and bring that cup home 👏👏⛵️👍🥇🥂🍾😎

I was wondering if the way the long skeg is suddenly cut off before the rudder may cause a low pressure area directly in front of the rudder causing cavitation?

One of the first to go.

@timdaniel5395 Ай бұрын

Let's hope that this time they've designed and built something suitable for the prevailing conditions - last time they took a knife to a gunfight !!

@tullochgorum6323 Ай бұрын

But it IS a radical design. The rudder is well forward of the other boats, and the centre of gravity too. So once again it's a risky strategy that may be well ahead, but may equally crash and burn.

@philippesails4973 Ай бұрын

Very much looking fwd to the end of this AC so that they (under the input of the kiwis) go back to boats that make watching racing interesting. The interest of the races reduces inversely proportionally to the speed of the boats.

@Trajectionable Ай бұрын

Exactly correct. At this rate the keewees will have skates on salt flats run by radio lol

Youd probably like chariot race's, instead of these modern things called car's,what a boring,look back over your shoulders comment,get out of the Middle ages,

Thank God shes similar looking to the others..we dont want a repeat of the last designer disaster..and I think shes prettier than Luna Rosa..hats off to ya Brits..

@karlpopper3246 Ай бұрын

It's not more beautiful ... but the only important factor is speed. Anyway, it's Luna Rossa, red moon, not Luna Rosa, pink moon

@barneyrubble9309 Ай бұрын

sufficiently different to the others to be of interest to see how they go.

@tommulvey9449 Ай бұрын

Need to scrape those barnacles off the front of the hull. How did they get there when it was out of the water?

@dadcooks1347 Ай бұрын

I think that full bow section is an aerodynamic mistake. The boat is built with displacement sailing in mind. The other teams are all about foiling aerodynamics.

@juliausnope9475 Ай бұрын

Unless they presume the sea state will make foiling near impossible, it seems unlikely that they have done that. Boats have now foiled for the last decade of the AC.

@colin7242 Ай бұрын

it’s an aero feature, alinghi has something similar

@clewerhillroad Ай бұрын

Yep a lot of volume low down ...but are they thinking that it might get them onto the foils faster, if you think about it that volume is almost like a bouyancy aid getting the rest of the hull (wetted area) out of the water .....just a thought

@3drocket Ай бұрын

There are some weird hull lines around the foil arm. They don't look as smooth or fast as the other hulls we have seen so far.

@rydenkaye9735 Ай бұрын

realistically those are irrelevant to the boat performance it's just aesthetics

@honahwikeepa2115 29 күн бұрын

Looks fast.

@stevegreen54 Ай бұрын

Interesting hull design, I’m not concerned at the fullness below the bow, it emulates a dolphin, whale snout, let’s hope it suits the varied weather conditions when racing, Barcelona is unpredictable. Who skippers ? Is Ben Ainslie still at the forefront ? Isn’t about time we had fresh blood at the Helm. Ben is rapidly becoming sailings version of nearly there Tim in Lawn Tennis.

Front half... make Up Periscope sonarman whale sounds. Lots of complex shapes. Back half "we can't afford computer time so everything has to be flat and straight, like the first stealth planes. Russian jets work this way, everything is spent on the front bits.

Looks like Ineos got 5 year olds to design a car then ended up with this shocker.. again they are behind the pack, wait for Ben to revert to his usual practice of ramming the other boats and shouting at everyone.
