@voodoo said in Americas Cup:
so do these races mean anything or is is just practice?
This Christmas Race comp is the only time TNZ gets to race against the challengers before the big show.
-
@Bovidae so all the challengers go through to Challenger series after this (regardless of results in this series) then we race the winner of that?
-
@voodoo Yes.

I read somewhere we will probably be keeping our powder dry during these races. Good tactic, it never fails.

Yep. I wasnt aware that Steve Hansen had been brought on board as a strategist.

Well, they are smashing Prada (Edit: Luna Rossa?)Incredible, 12 knot winds and up to 40 knot boat speed.

@Crazy-Horse it is amazing to watch those boats, the acceleration they get as well.

Fuck. Off. That is some straight-up bullshit.
A flagrant disregard for the basic laws of physics on par with the Japanese and their goddamn iceblocks you need a BBQ to eat. -

A flagrant disregard for the basic laws of physics on par with the Japanese and their goddamn iceblocks you need a BBQ to eat.I'm amazed at how they turn still on the foils. +3 min margin is amazing in what are supposed to be comparable boats. Be interesting to see if there's that disparity amongst the challengers and what improvements they can make.

it is apparent they have drier powder

@antipodean TNZ vs USA in race 4 will give us a better gauge of relative boat speeds.

Ainslie and Team UK are not looking good. The criticism of their boat seems on the money.
Imagine going to sponsor meetings based on this performance.
