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

😱Se non mi fossi alzata alle 5 per scrivere per qualche ora, in questa giornata di navigazione in mezzo ai temporali non avrei trovato tempo da dedicare al mio progetto di scrittura. ⏰Ma mi sono alzata alle 5 e quindi per un paio d'ore ho lavorato ad un nuovo capitolo. ⛈️Il meteo era orribile ma siamo dovuti per forza partire alla ricerca di una rada riparata dove dare ancora. Tra un temporale e l'altro siamo arrivati allo stretto varco di uscita delle isole incoronate, che con un meteo così richiede molta più attenzione. 🌊Seguendo le carte, l'abbiamo superato. Fuori le onde erano ben più alte, ma la nostra Alba se l'è cavata bene. 📝Nelle giornate come questa la scrittura passa in secondo piano, ma è proprio il brivido dell'avventura a darmi le parole da scrivere, quindi sono contentissima così. 🤗Seguimi su Instagram e YouTube per altri racconti di mare e scrittura. 📚Vetrina Amazon con tutti i libri che leggo: https://www.amazon.it/shop/giugyssima?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsfshop_Y8G29NN1PQJWD36RBMP1 [commissioni guadagnate su acquisti idonei, senza spese aggiuntive per voi🤍]
