#ac37 recon

Great photos and video from Auckland today.

Funny how with a few weeks back in Auckland, Pete’s kiwi accent comes to the fore.

However, I do disagree slightly with what he says at the end of the video: It is the journey AS WELL AS how the team finishes that is important.

Been a bit out of the ETNZ AC37 loop, but there are some nice videos from today’s practice in the Harakai Gulf.

The guys were eager to get out there as the sea state resembled conditions that they will likely encounter in Barcelona.

Blair eager to have his recon interview over and done.

Mozzy straightening us all out with regard to the ETNZ foils.

Data, reporting and hypothesizing from Tom.

It is all a matter of timing.

Well….Ineos Brittania’s new boat has been unveiled.

Im sorry, but I agree with one of the comments. It is shaped like a humpback whale with a square ramp as a tail and sharp skeg.

Rita3 streamlined like a whale?

Mozzy doing more analysis on the ETNZ AC75 setup

ETNZ used the camber angles more efficiently in AC35 - remember - that was Glenn Ashby’s entire job on the boat (and making sure Pete didn’t hit marks he could not see).

And ETNZ used more extreme camber angles created by the double main sheets and twisting masts in AC36.

Hard to believe that they might be using the same tactics in AC37 and no other team will be copying them.

We shall see!

The testing on the water just keeps on going. ETNZ still going full-on.

AC40 testing.

Nice fun interview with an American Magic sailor, who is actually happy being interviewed.

Nice to see (even as American Magic still lopsided at times in the gusts).

Forgettable interview with Andy Maloney of ETNZ.

Back from Barcelona.

Pete trying to play coy as usual. LEQ40 has a new port foil going through testing.

Looks like the chase boat was having a hard time keeping up!

Great photos of yesterday’s sailing of Te Rehutai in Barcelona, ESP in confused sea state.

Only ETNZ was out in the conditions.

Francesco “Chechi” Bruni on AC 40 sailing in Barcelona

Good to see them capsizing. Sounds like the team is able to ship boats and parts back and forth from Barcelona and Caligari. Nice advantage!

And Alinghi are continuing their foil testing on the AC40/ LEQ 12 like mad.

Nicolas Charbonnier (also a helm with Arnaud Psarafafgis) gave the recon interview.

Looks like their programme is on track! Hoping they are working on their main boat now.

After the horrible weather that the north of NZ has been experiencing, ETNZ got out on the water.

Some of the best recon footage in a long time and good to see them practicing their starts.

Recon interview also delves into the winding down, packing and readying the team for moving to Barcelona headquarters!

Thank you recon team and Tony Rae for the gorgeous footage.

Hard to see much of ….

… of a difference between the ETNZ and LRPP foils.

Better footage here : Thanks to Sailworldnzl!

Well, I do have to give it to the team….

…They are looking much more stable flying, tacking and gibing.

Not sure anyone knows if these foil shapes will work in Barcelona.
