My sense is that LR and ETNZ are the two most similar concepts. Is that fair? If so, seems interesting that the two AC36 teams are going the same way while the also-rans head towards other less proven corners of the design course. Thanks again for your work Mozzy.

Thanks.

That's a great looking boat, hard to believe it's that time again already

Less power is never better than more power. This is the "Jeremy Clarkson" rule, and it is universally true. Power is defined as Torque times Revolutions Per Minute. In other words, it is the rate at which work can be done. And it is clear, that NZ can perform more work, and hence provide the helmsman with more options, more of the time. Thanks, America! You made a boat with a bucking helm last time, that prevented one of our best Kiwi helmsman from actually turning the wheel when and how he wanted! So it's great to see your team limiting your options once again. :)

This challenger series is really heating up! super looking forward to this kicking off.

One thing about Team NZ they always have something up their sleeves. You haven't seen their foils yet or their final sail design. I am picking they have plenty instore for everyone. They will definitely be very fast their design team is amazing

Really excited to see how they all go

Tom, many thanks and a comment: I noticed while rewatching SailGP races yesterday that on same tack, head to head identical boats, speed correlates very noticeably to height from water. Any time you see some F50 outpacing the others, if you take a peek at the height from water numbers, you almost invariably see them riding a bit higher. I think drag from foils is definitely a big factor in top speed, and although it seems like it makes sense having a skeg that "blocks" wind underneath, if it comes at the cost of extra drag from foils, its, imho, probably not going to pay off. Well have to wait and see. Thanks for the excellent coverage so far!

Bring it on!

Thanks for your valuable input. Also feel the excitement building. I love how invested each team is in there boats. There seems to be a genuine belief across the board that they are in with a chance. BUT and it’s a capital BUT, it’s the foils that will win this race. And there’s a bit of nail biting still to come. Asked how fast Taihoro has been sailing out here on the gulf, Dalton answered it’s irrelevant till they line up against there opponent. You just have to be a bit faster than them.

@jasonpickens9839

Foils for sure will be important but I think in a straight line the boats will be almost identical. I reckon it will be the moding and speed in the manoeuvres will be the difference and that comes down to the full package.

@@jasonpickens9839 you’re right, it is balancing the total package, however foils that slow you a knot or two will make manoeuvres rare

Don't you think that the position of the crew can damage the air flow over the deck? The holes would create turbolences while other boats have a real smooth channel

I am a Brit fan but i fancy this boat as the one design that looks fast.

i cant wait tks

More mozzy 🍻🍺🚀

As a lowracer recumbent cyclist I've seen believable amateur experiments confirming 10% loss in peak power. I haven't seen the same done at FTP and since the boats can store power and races are 20 mins the cyclors will be spending the majority of their efforts around FTP. I'd be very interested in American Magic's data on the topic because there isn't that much in the way of recumbent studies at all. We're a niche branch of cycling for amateurs but doing 30mph under your own power at a couple inches off the ground is awesome.

@briancavanagh7048

Ай бұрын

The interesting thing about recumbent bikes is they are faster, on the flat or descent, due to their reduced frontal area irrespective of a 10% loss of output.

Team NZ head of design has said all the teams hulls will be within a few seconds of each other. The speed difference will be in sail design foil design and operating systems

He is being disengenuous the hull design is the crucial key to the outcome

Love the design concept direction of American Magic. Minimalism is a very worthy focus, Luna Rossa also looks sleek as hell. It looks good and looks fast! But the proof will be in the pudding!

Great coverage. I check to see if you dropped a new video several times a day... Lol. Keep them coming. Could you address the appendages between the cant arms and the foils? I see a lot of different solutions. American Magic has two different ones with the same foils. Luna Rossa has one with a spear. There seems to be a big difference in how the water sprays upward behind the arm. Does it makes a big difference?

Looks sleek and fast.......I just hope that we have very competitive racing, sure makes it more enjoyable to watch.

The AC becomes more transparent thanks to Mozzy's sharp analysis's. Thx. I am following closely from Hamburg, Germany. Sadly, no German entry.....anyway, I will be online till the very end. bDiificult to come up with a bet so soon, but the brits look very competitive to me as do the Americans. One thing for sure: this will not be another easy homerun for the kiwis! Great stuff.

Is there any rule against covering the openings? American Magic appeared to have some type of tarp over the cyclors.

Great analysis Tom, thanks for your updates. Huge fan of disruptive designs, not a fan of Magic design particularly around the cyclors position and aero thinking, and hope to be proven wrong. Power won’t hurt them too much upwind perhaps? Maybe in the manoeuvres. Looking forward to the drag races off the start, upwind speed and angle may be different based on these designs.

I would love to see you and the crew have a chat with Elise BEAVIS for a few mins Mozzy

Do you think they have enough volume in the bow to avoid nose dive? Visions of them stuffing the bow down wind.

A couple of thoughts on this. With the least internal volume do they have more challenges fitting / accessing all the internal control components. I'd love to see whats under the skin of these machines, I bet they're all incredible. 2nd, smaller vol hull in high wave state might be more swampable? (Better keep it flying). And 3rd, do they give away any structural stiffness/strength? But I do agree it looks very sleek. Excited for some race track faceoffs!

It is better having wheigt of crew and tech more inside near sail? Looking good this deck also.... nice different boats now we see. Nice different design solutions teams try. Team NZ,luna rossa and American magic boat till now i finding nicely.

The physiological requirements for the crew (power generation) must be very interesting. There’s only so many watts any particular human can produce for a certain period. So it gets down to training, crew selection, and execution (performing in competition) but the coaching and selection would be interesting to hear about. For example, is it watts per kilo that matters most (as it does with climbing) or just big watts (as in flats since no aerodynamic element here)? If the former, you pick very light “climber” types. If the latter, big athletes with big wattage numbers. Does it require 1 hour power or repeated VO2 max efforts? All would require different athletes and training. I’m not a sailor so apologize if you’ve already covered this, but I love the America’s Cup every time it rolls around. 😊

The sail configuration powers the boat the hull keeps the water out

AM must have determined the boundary layer of the flow on and around the main is still inside of their trimmer/cyclor positions. Love their unique approach (even if I do think these boats are about as far from sailing as one can get with a mast and sails).

@@timbetts7377 Agreed except that there is an expectation of sailboats going upwind AND downwind and humans being required to maneuver the boats...at least that was the traditional paradigm. All of that is out the door (or overboard I should say) with these boats. Nothing of that kind happened with F1, Indy or any other car series...humans have, largely, had the same role(s) and the cars, largely, do the same things....with these "boats" they do less and humans are involved less. I think they are cool boats (you should see one of these in person if you want to be really impressed - I saw Defiant in Narragansett Bay, RI in 2021)...it just stinks watching them go upwind pretty much constantly. That said, Go Patriot!

Great technical analysis. As a Kiwi I've got no finger nails left and the racing hasn't even started I'm hoping it will be a close AC finial and our 2 Olympic Gold medalist at the helm will be the difference, but it always comes down to speed and moding and he who makes the least amount of mistakes.

Complimenti! I tuoi servizi sono sempre i migliori rispetto agli altri perché spieghi ogni cosa in modo semplice e intuitivo. Bravo Della barca americana che dire? Concettualmente molto diversa dalle barche concorrenti e vedremo con quali risultati. Spero tu faccia un servizio intero anche su Luna Rossa dato che ha introdotto da qualche giorno novità, presentando un nuovo foil e arm, e l'albero; mentre restano quelli della scorsa edizione, l'altro foil e il timone. Cosa ne pensi?

Is there/would there be any issues around the bounce’ that the foils have at the end of their lift? Reminds of a Bumper Stop’ on shock absorbers. There seems to be a lot of wobble (crude terminology) as they come to rest. Would not this energy transfer be dissipated throughout the hull after each tack & gybe? It’s interesting to watch each boat as they go through a manoeuvre and see the foil arm finish. Would this have cause the hull and opposing foil to shudder slowing down the speed coming out of the turn?

Was gonna say they must be recumbent

Mozzy, this data is interesting ( at 5:10 "Patriot's watertight bulkhead enclosing= 35 m3") : and regarding this aspect, what about Luna Rossa and the other boats you have analysed ? Thx 🙂

@@sezione-m-paul Hello Paul 👋. It would be interesting to see how AC competitors measure the volume and enforce the rules for others. That said, I computed the volume of the hull I designed by parts. I took the area within a cross sectional plane, like a cat scan of the vessel. Multiplied that area by 1 mm elevation to get a volume. Moved the cross section by 1 mm. Repeat and add. Fundamentally an integration approximation. For it to be precise, the 1 mm elevation needs to approach 0.0 mm, but I didn't need 6 places of decimal accuracy.

I was slagging American Magic for being plain and boring until I saw it from the rear. This is all very exciting design stuff from all the teams.

It's an interesting point that having more diversity in the challenges makes it harder for the defender but the opposite could also be true. If the defender is confident that they are close to the global optimum then opening up the rules just causes the challengers to try more variations and get themselves stuck into a local optimum. One hull might be better but unless they have the foils and everything else to go with it then it will be suboptimal. Given everything that ETNZ have been doing with the land speed record and the AC40 I'm picking that they still have the advantage and that all these variations plays to their strength.

how much of the old patriot is in the new one? After all, patriot 1 was probably the fastest challenger and maybe even faster then te rehutai before the crash

Recumbent bikes are quicker over a distance because of lower aero drag. Drag is going to be a big factor.

Well, to be fair internal crews are becoming more common in other high-level racing series. In offshore racing, the newest IMOCA 60 yachts offer more protection from the elements with some being entirely enclosed for this reason and aerodynamics. The Ultim trimarans have been nearly enclosed for several years. It's a natural progression as speeds increase and drag reduction as well as greater protection is mandated. As I've stated in the past, _nothing ever significant is gained without losing something significant to attain it._
