Looking highly impressive, stable and controlled, the New York Yacht Club American Magic Team once again caught the early morning breeze out in Pensacola, docking out at 8.28am sharp after a crane in before 7am. The team are bracing themselves for the incoming, late season tropical storm, Nicole, that the National Hurricane Centre are predicting could escalate to a category 1 hurricane as it hits landfall. Important therefore for the Magic crew to capitalise on every available opportunity and whilst the breeze held at around 8-10 knots through to lunchtime, the team put in a thoroughly professional performance as they went through what Dan Morris, Sail Trimmer on Patriot, described as a: “long list of things to figure out” in regards systems and controls upgrades. “It’s all related to how the boat works and how we make the boat work, power going in, how we use that power and how that translates into speed.” Section 41. Reconnaissance a) As a campaign cost reduction measure, COR/D has mutually agreed to cooperatively implement a centralised reconnaissance programme for all teams for the reconnaissance of all Competitors’ AC75 Yachts, AC40 Yachts and LEQ12 yachts including both on-land and on-water imagery (the “Joint Recon Programme”). b) Each team is assigned a two-person Recon Unit to follow their every on-water move, but it's not that simple. The cameras are supplied and identical for all Recon Units. Drones are not allowed, and they can't get that close, plus following a boat and keeping a camera steady at 45 knots isn't that easy to begin with. c) A three minute interview follows each on water day, and teams must answer the Recon Unit's questions while trying not to give too much away. It's a raw, unedited view of the never before seen behind-the-scenes development of a team and their boat to win the oldest trophy in international sports. #AC37Recon #AmericasCup #Barcelona2024

Ci eravamo abituati alla morbida e alta onda lunga oceanica. Questa notte abbiamo lasciato la marina Rubicon di Lanzarote per raggiungere la marina di Las Palmas, sull’isola di Gran Canaria. Dopo poche miglia a vela il mare inizia a innervosirsi presentandoci una corta, alta e fastidiosa onda incrociata. Non riuscivi a stare in piedi! Ogni cambio turno ci si lamentava delle condizioni con chi sopraggiungeva, che a sua volta non era riuscito a dormire come avrebbe voluto. Tutto sommato la notte è comunque passata. Siamo arrivati a Las Palmas e ci siamo messi all’ancora. I prossimi giorni saranno di preparazione della barca per la traversata. Adesso andiamo a dormire presto per recuperare le ore dormite poco e male questa notte. Buona befana a tutti! Andrea
