Watching the capsize once again I had a thought about a last ditch save. When these boats go over there is a point where the windward foil arm, as it continues to rise with the hull, begins to lose righting moment. Lowering the foil at that point would place it further from the pivot and increase the righting moment. I would be a difficult thing to initiate in a potential capsize but perhaps it could be set up to occur automatically if the boat passes a critical angle of heel. In a marginal situation it could save the capsize and might even save the boat.
The scenery is so beautiful and stunning.Very enjoyable! Reminds me of my trips where I take the good music like the Guns N Roses, Imagine Draongs or the Delta Parole and then enjoy the powerful feeling of the sea. ¡vamos!
Stavano già festeggiando ... 😂
Kiwis are the best sailors in the world look at some of the other teams they got to have kiwis in there boats to try beat us we are going to be hard to beat in the future
So sad to see the AM incident. They were comfortably ahead, looking strong. Shame.
wow! that's so spectacular! better than formula races
Too much hype and filler ,,not enough content,,,,
American Magic still has a slim chance no?
.
INEOS has turned it around. Amazing, they terrible a few weeks back!
Why was Ineos/Prada race abandoned?
It would be nice to see the difference between 'in race' commentary', and commentary added afterwards. I note that comments from my network of 'Professional sailor' friends that none of them mentioned releasing the tension of the leeward backstay to allow the mainsail to flex at the time of the incident, although some have commented afterwards. Has the commentary been 'updated' I wonder? In any case trapping the mainsail does seem to have been an issue, but I am suspicious that this video has been 'up dated' to include such conclusions, as the actual tension on the backstay is rather difficult to deduce... Let us keep this 'real' people - too much 'digital improvement' reduces the credibility.
Great coverage of exciting racing. Did something inside the boat shift and make the hole in American Magic? Watching the video It looks like it's punched out.
Get rid of that Steven bloke please!! He’s got no idea.
They shouldn't have Stephen McIvor commentating yachting. Hes involved in too much coverage of different sports. The American fellas are really good to listen too.
The leeward runner! The leeward runner!
That's not sailing. they are driving it like a car! Sailors climb up the rigging
Please explain what and where a leeward runner is....
I have never been a fan of sailing. It was worse than golf. Now these foil boats are exciting to watch.
I believe I can fly ... aarrggh!!
200,000 views? No one cares.
Not going well for Luna Rossa, looking at sailing they have lost both races today. It start looking that having two top helmsmen, Bruni and Spithill, it is creating a lack of tactics, especially vs INEOS, once you are ahead of only 7 sec you do tough match race and you cover the opponent, you do not go away and ask mr weather for some luck. Luna Rossa shall make a choice, have only one helmsmen driving the boat and get on board a tactician.
There’s one consolation. They can’t blame this on Trump.
Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest. (Psalms 51:1-4 [KJV]) - : - : - For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. (Romans 10:13 [KJV])
My heart breaks for my US team. But kudos to UK going undefeated. And thanks to all teams for helping our crippled Patriot.
USA Ouch 😲Team GB grate job
Such good racing. Why did the Americans tack at the windward mark and not just bear away on port tack? Was it the wind?
Was GB sandbagging in the December races? They certainly turned it around while USA was nearly as good as NZ.
Said the voice from the ignoramus,
23:30 something floating in the water in the foreground. I wonder if that is the piece of the hull that got punched out when she slammed back into the water?
Data on boat performances are good but can you stop the scrolling--just put both rows of data up? and since wind speed and direction are important to the tactical picture, can you please show these details graphically on overhead shots of the course???
Sorry, but this "highlight" selection does not do justice to the sport. Feels like "random shots of the day" to me. At 4:22, we don't get the slightest clue on when and how GBR passed ITA. I am out of this, and will instead watch the individual races. I hope you guys can improve your editing game in the next couple, a 30 min edit of the day would be very welcome, if it would actually include the highlights.
Ouch! When in doubt, let it out boys...
Magic were flying - shame
I have not watched any AC stuff in years ... these "boats" are so ugly ... ahhh for the days of 12meters and ACC ... and further back when my father was on a "J" boat crew ...
Ok boomer*
Ok old timer 😎
American Tragic 😢
Ineos, you beauty.
Do these commentators work for the BBC ? sounds like Ineos have gate crashed their party. Love it :)
Dean Barker strikes again.Good on yah mate !
26:00 capsizing
By far, this race day was the best on whole eliminatory America's cup
43
Unreleased running backstay and it's all over. What a bad break. No word yet if it was human error or mechanical failure.
This is great coverage
barker stuffed up took the wrong cool
These highlights are fantastic I really got a feel how the races were won and lost and it's not too long compared to watching the whole stream. Great edit it's much appreciated!
How funny, a wind shift makes it impossible to sail. Why then sail at all? If you can't handle a wind shift you shouldn't have designed stupid machines.
Great highlight package from the race last night. At 22:57 you can see a shot of the boat laying sideways in the water. It lasts a second before they cut away but you can see an air blast on the hull side. This would be air rushing out of that hole. At 24:49 there is a shot of the hull rolling over and you can see CF strapping hanging of the hull bottom. It is just a brief shot but visible.
23:30 - 23:33 there debris floating behind the motorboat
I liked the coverage format from before Christmas. You could watch a single race....or you could watch a string of single races as you time would permit. Now you have these monstrous 2+ hour bights...that is monstrously long and hard to navigate
"right hand turn?????"
For racing where there is no second, there's a huge tolerance for second rate performance on American Magic. Losing the starts and now turning a big lead into a swim. Who's the backup helmsman? Hard to do worse. Also, it's painful to see the primary sponsor not be an American company. Given how poorly the boat is going it seems poetic. Where is Ted Turner when we need him?
US Airbus's Commercial Airplanes division, located in Mobile, Alabama. The site will be the major assembly and delivery site for Airbus commercial aircraft in the United States and will be one of the largest employment centers in the state. - Ted is a legion.!!! - Terry is the skipper & co helmsman.
technology incredible, performance unbelievable, but for me this isnt match racing
It must be really gusty , American Magic looked really good using the wind to the max and then overkill . The boat nearly left the water . Amazing conditions and bad luck for American team . I thought that they were tuning in for the finals against the Brits . It's nice to know that any boat has the capability of taking a race . No runaways just nail biters .
Looks like 45 knots is the actual takeoff speed for these boats
It seems to me that Terry should either take the helm, tactics, or grind. Pick ONE, because heads down in the boat isn’t working for him. Max is on the shore, and it’s working for him.
I hear you.....why is he grinding, he is a awesome taction, not a grinder....terry brad said wake up....
It's infuriating hearing about a "race track", there is no "follow my leader" as this series has shown. A "race area" yes, but there is no set track in which to travel on, that's the fun of sailing. Please have a word and get them to modify their language, otherwise coverage is exceptional
@daemn42 aint confussed, its a side of the course relative to the individual boat, meaning the side of their "racing track". Anyway the commentary is secondary to the action, and its thick n fast so far. Enjoy
@James Joyce I think you may be the only one confused by their language.
@daemn42 possibly, then a correct term would be rum-line or course made good. naa mate its media sensationalism, not sure this event needs any further lingo. from the leeward mark there ain't no track and its easy to confuse folk; track, maintrack, port tack, sail track say it like it is the wind is producing an advatage to one side of the course. Enough of this clap track, nice to see a 70fter clearing the water like a whale
I think you're reading way too much into that line. All they were saying was that when all the pressure is one side of the course, the trailing boat can't split at the bottom gates to find better air, and must follow the leader.
Brits have corrected their foil problems that they had in American cup. They are maxing out now .
Well. . . It's official. The American's suck at sailing these new boats!
And I didn't think sailboats could look any sillier.
Oh Good Grief! They abandoned the race because of a WIND SHIFT??? What kind of sailing is THAT? In a real race, the winner is the one that takes best advantage of wind shifts. Then, a wind gust knocks the boat over and it could not right itself. What kind of sailing is that?
These are professional racing sailers. No excuse for a capsize. The US team is just exhibiting the same kind of failure as our political system, stupid and filled with BS. I wonder if they're as corrupt too? I mean, was the crew chosen by political correctness?
Absolutely, the helmsman ignored the safe 'wear around' suggestion and bulled ahead regardless, with the sort of results we Americans have become used to getting in recent years. -Veteran '66-68
When American Magic went over, I spilled my coffee on my shirt trying to pull her back up. \
@Larry Hutcherson Sr When American Magic went over I was jumping up and down, on my coffee table trying to sink the boat!
What are the odds, I also got coffee on my shirt. Surprising train wreck on the water.
Nice but Uk is faster of Prada .UK is a seagull Prada is a Duck.
Ducks have the fastest level flight of any bird, and far more graceful in the air than a seagull. Just saying!
WoW.
When Ineos did not win in the races before Christmas they no doubt felt free do anything they could to increase the speed, whereas Magic and Luna Rosa felt they only needed minor adjustments to hold on to the advantages they felt they had. Bold choices Ineos. Glad everyone is safe on Magic.
Yikes.....wonder if they missed the runner or it was a mechanical problem....bad timing with the puff😳
American Magic Airbus goes airborne at 22:20
what an awesome show !!! So Great for Auckland to have an exciting Race in Difficult times with Airborne boats!!! Glad Everyone is okay just stunning Auckland looks amazing. The presentation and the commentators were funny and informative
lets hope other teams take a lesson from this and check that the internal equipment on their boats unable to punch out through the hull.
Racing starts at 2:30
Jeez!! USA vs ITA - Great racing, nothing left on the board by either team. I'm willing to bet there were some nipsy bottoms aboard during the aviation moment and capsize. 😳‼️ Huge respect to all of the teams/crew. These things are ANIMALS!
The Americans are failing at one of the most basic rules and strategies of racing, especially match racing, THE START.
They are not too good @ the Finish line.,where their is no second.!!!
dean is making Sophmore mistakes
That second start of race one, was the best start of the series. And, the comments by the commentator on the final sprint to that start, shows that these new boats are still surprising the media folks. Even the experienced ones! Sir Ben knew what he was doing and timed the start quite well. Not an error. Not really late compared to LRPP.
There's going to be some interesting conversations in the the American camp tonight. They had the fastest boat but lost another race due to poor judgement and sloppy crew. Lucky to escape penalties, calling for a questionable gybe and then failing to release the backstay!
Capsize next, same problem in squall rounding mark with tack instead of jibe! PM EST Sunday
@24:48 you can see the straps of (I assume) carbon fibre already flapping on the exterior of the hull. So the main damage had probably already happened.
It looks like American magic was in the act of sinking there.
Minute 22:12 I scared the shit out of me... 😱😱
Great comeback in that race by Sir Ben, and especially his tactician.
They have yet to have a good start. No need to apologize for these guys, they’re professionals after all!
faster than the wind I still don;t believe it.
Cause their sail with appear wind,and it is higher than real.
Fantastic job to the whole team. As always though there is more data and therefore more analysis to be done. If as it seems there was approx 10% gain pre-Christmas to Prada Cup what gains are still left to execute and new gains from this weekend? Another 10% or less ?
luna rossa dilettanti
You can see hull damage in the camera shot from the bow, looks like splinters of carbon fiber
@Bo Honk watch it from the bow camera, you can see the splinters as it leans over. There is also a video of them lifting the boat out of the water now, big hole in the bottom with a lot of carbon splinters.
Where are you getting that shot?
This is better than F1 - tight turns, overtaking, crashes, speed, good for the environment, amazing machines - no wonder Mercedes are involved. Just imagine a series of exotic locations around the world over the course of a year before a world champ is crowned!
Consider this: Ineos could win every round robin race, so avoiding the semi-finals and lose in the finals to the winner of the semis. I'm a Brit and feel that is a little lop-sided. But Patriot can afford to miss next weekend's racing whilst being repaired and still get up to speed for the semis. Nobody has to win a round robin to be in the semis.
@Antti Brax What I am saying is don't get too carried away with round robin wins, which I am sure they are not and don't be too despondent about round robin losses. But continuing development and race experience are crucial.
Ineos could also have sandbagged and gone through the semi finals if they had wanted to.
Them are the rules and they're same for everyone. Just don't pretend that not racing makes your team faster.
I wonder if the starboard foil got stuck in the up position as the boat started to go over... perhaps it all happened too quickly for any reaction, and of course the unreleased port running backstay did them in.
the racing was exciting yesterday and today watching from Sydney Cant wait to see our big boyz Emirates Team NZ trash all of them and keep the cup..Cant wait to watch it on the 1st of March..GO THE KIWIS Exciting!!!!!!
no need to be salty. this is sailing we can be gents. hope its uk v nz in the final should be great viewing
