Did I miss it or did Mr.Sheahan completely missed a VERY rare option on this boat - A BOW THRUSTER! Not bad for a budget Outremer.
At this point get rid of the humans and let an AI run the race.
Liked your description of a the centerboard, but you also pointed out one ( not both! ) disatvantages not only can you shear a pin but SERVICING of the board is only from under the water line and if you back down on them you rupture the Trunk! Ther exist only 3 basic appendages ,Centerboards, Daggerboards and Keels [ up till know! you should advise yourself of SCABBOARD TECHNOLOGIES....Lets talk! ] Norman Cook
They were fast last time. And Good fun!!!
Best 5 minutes l have seen yet ..
Thanks for being there reporting.
"You might just be able to make out the American flag..." BAHAHAHA, I love that ol' flag.
So ETNZ has two boats in this cup now
It is similar from the outside but that is where it ends.
A new French era starting with a tested set up.
Only arrogant pommys thinking french team its not sailing knowledge having? Money blahblah wow..... kiwis are great without to mutch money and people... Can english even winning with hundred times more money? Then sometimes to mutch its getting to many strategies to follow. Like alinghi winning with monkey buying all from NZ sailors and then falling deep about rules😉 Alinghi and swiss telling be a sailing nation and only with enough money till arrogance falling over a little law. Kiwis was learn law and lawyers AC in 90is. Im happy an hutchinson its now leader of american team. AC was decades to long decadent law winning.
Oooh british still can't believe helping an new team to start. ... If GB at second cup not stronger then french then whining about inability 🙏 Then french now are must developing like kiwis or all another they strategic evolution! English having 5years more to doing right!
Of course for english, american and swiss this open sharing competition its over they thinking? Kiwis are not stupid and sharing all and getting beaten straight away helping further then they need to start. Hopefully kiwis, Luna Rossa ,french strong enough against american.... What alinghi and GB are we see.
Awesome milestone for the French Team Orient Express! Between the variability of Barcelona conditions and the new boats this promises to be one of the most interesting America's Cup in years.
Why does Matthew Sheehan think we’d rather look at him than the boat? He adds little value or insight, go and look at Mozzy Sails coverage. This is a self glorification exercise👎
Unlistenable audio quality too Mozzy the best at this game by far
What talking 3 minutes off all know that's last french team buyed NZ design ground ship? All know biggest where NZ must acting good and watching its money! Kiwis and Luna Rossa are best teams to share and Support another for bringing AC further then only a couple billionaires game. Only northern are decadent thinking money solving all in live? Not only about AC all our strategic holding controls its since decades with money? Thanks kiwis support new teams . Thanks Luna Rossa was helping NZ, they know they giving back they knowing later! After oracle they support of NZ was getting Luna Rossa strong. Luna Rossa was then challanger.
New to the cup this year. The engineering around this series is amazing. Great content.
Don't worry,THE KIWIS ARE NOT STUPID
I feel it goes against the whole ethos of the cup where teams design their own boats with their own research, testing and thinking, to a rule. The rule that allows this, feels like it's there just to make the kiwis some money. The Americas cup was never supposed to be a 'one design' and this has opened it up to being just that.
Yeah but the kiwis are in every team, weve shared tech and personnel for 3 decades. We gave in to hosting our defence in Barcelona which saved all the european teams many thousands… we tun on the smell of an oily rag as it is.
That would be true .... if there was no development of the boats between now and the AC event. But there will be new sails, new foils, upgrades to software the systems. So I think you'll find that the ETNZ boat and the OER boat don't end up at the same place.
It looks similar from the outside but that is where it stops.
I don't know about recently but, in the past ETNZ has run on 1/3 the budget of all other teams.
👍 .. innovation has been keeping ahead of competition .. especially when development of such a radical concept is accelerating in leaps & bounds .. the next gen cup boats will almost be autonomous .. they'll be just steer it around & strategy .. they can just do it now .. hydraulics currently powered by peddles will be powered by pito pressure tubes at the base of the rudders feeding vane motors ala air power tools .. interesting times these
I'm not counting the French out, but the Bermuda Cup was sailed in almost one design boats and they won only 2 out of 10 races and were eliminated. Also, their isn't much history of France doing too well in the AC despite being - by far - the best off-shore racing nation, so I think if France challenges for a few Cups in a row with the same team and has moderate funding, then I think they could win.
Sailing culture has changed a lot in France in the last five years, mainly driven by the foiling Imocas and Ultims. Teams are more professional and many French engineers are spread in other teams design departments. Team culture has always been the Achille’s of French AC campaigns. This changed a lot in the recent years. So I won’t take past France efforts in the AC has a blueprint for this one.
Take an EBike to Barcelona
The beginning of a new French era. I expect that ETNZ shared some racing data which might allow French improvements. All the best 👍🏾
Adolph is one smart dude.
My questions are why the switch from the catamaran boats with hydrofoils to the monohulls with hydrofoils, and which is actually faster around a race course. The cats were clocking 70 kph at times and turning on a dime. Possibly the dinosaurs that still run sail racing hate to see multihulls take over?
These boats are close to the 100kph mark. Last americas cup there was chat that ETNZ had broken 56knt mark in training. But the weather never played its part and we got the conditions to see those speeds.
Maybe pacicans was first sailing to explore?
Hopefully we see a century ago style fast sailing and new foiling styling fast boats. ... Sailing history its human history thousands of years! 4 or 5 thosands years sailing we know? Or further. ..
I do wonder if AM made an error in sailing and testing in Pensacola. I love the look of the US entry, and I fancy it and the team to do well - but how much would they have learned from basing themselves at the race venue?
It's hardly the "leading edge of the sport". It's a fairly interesting side show. Given the constraints imposed by the AC honchos on the course, and the lock down on any real information regarding the boats: their development and performance, it is unlikely to have many fans at all.
Some people just amaze me......Obvious ChimeraActual knows nothing about the AC and the rules governing it....
@@ronjenkins7998Ha! I rather think I do. What rule do you think I don't know? BTW, the Deed of Gift was broken by a lawsuit years ago. Essentially, the rights holders can do pretty much what they want, and what they want is to make money. I just think they're going about it all wrong. Best
This campaign is going to be really hard for Alinghi
Love your content. Music in the opening sequence is a bit intrusive.
ETNZ looking fast and ready for the challenger.
Love to see Alinghi RB Racing in the competition! Thank you guys for your investment - it makes the whole endeavor better. You’ve built a fast and beautiful vessel, too!
is adrian newey working on this ?
As far as we can tell from public information, he would not have contributed much.
Australia here. I like your work, along with that of Mozzy. The design race is interesting. I still like the Kiwis for the win, but I hate what Grant Dalton has done with shifting the venue. Too many people doing stuff just for money. Eventually it will ruin the sport. Matt, you need a better starting watch for your 5-minute starting sequence.
Money dictates sport now. Sad reality.
To be competitive it is basically like running a business.
Honestly, what was ETNZ supposed to do? It's like saying to someone who badly wants a car he can't afford to take on a loan with impossible payments. Is that really better than relinquishing one's home court venue to continue to be viable financially as a team??
Yes, money runs the Cup, but the promoters have misunderstood how to appeal to the viewers, and their money. You can't let the syndicates set the rules there has to be an understanding of what makes the product be watchable and involving. MotoGP, while not perfect, is a good example of how to run a sport like the AC.
Prob gunna crash it again
The womens trophy was revealed the other day. Why is the youth and womens trophy not returned each america's cup cycle and passed to the new winner, like the auld mug itself? I think this would make the trophys more exciting, they will be on public display again, instead of getting dust in a club house.
Love this series! Thanks guys keep it going!
Matt, I think you may want to concider changing the name of these episods to "Matt and Andy Chat" (for more than 5 mins). 😁 Cheers
With everything going on in the world , watching, hearing about sailing is wonderful
Cool tech, give me a 12m any day though.
He'll yes.
Go Nathan. Go Nathan.❤❤❤❤
Teens New Zealand shod build the deck on the youte of Canvass
Korea Johnny Blaze here I reckon teem now Zealand should build the deck out of Ae sail like materials or ae
Every time I see a test of an Outremer I can't shake off the feeling it's got WAY too many ropes in and around the cockpit. They are everywhere. And they go everywhere. There is a configuration for this helm position and that, and you can control the sheets while hanging upside down from the stern, and you can raise the sails from under the water. But the end result is a spaghetti dish in the back. I seriously doubt it's a good thing for cruisers. And it looks like a tripping hazard. Why there are no rope boxes to put the tails in?
16:30 Sure, demonstrating your editing skills is MUCH more important than showing how the selling-point feature on the boat works, isn't it? Well done, PlanetSail. 😀
I always enjoy these updates, Matt and Andy. Well done. Cheers
Congratulations... missed the start again..!! Please keep missing the start - really enjoying the dialogue.
first :)
Really? Then why does AM have 4 people side by side blocking the wind? So far not buying this boat. They can barely keep it on the water.
