The path to glory at the America’s Cup is a hard one. Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli, the beaten finalists from 2021 know this all too well but there’s a pragmatism in their approach which was superbly exemplified by Gilberto Nobili, the team’s highly experienced and no-nonsense Operations Manager, in interview afterwards. Asked what it will take to win the Cup, he gave a comprehensive and detailed overview saying: “You know that the Defender is always few points ahead of you because they know the stuff better than you and is only racing really a few days so they can narrow down the selection of the boat, how to develop stuff. You have a little bit more practice, and as we saw last time we got to the Cup, to the final, very prepared on the field, on the racing course, they were little bit faster for sure so this time we need to close the gap, keep doing what we were doing and see if there is something there that we didn't experiment with so we need to learn a little bit more and see what the other people come out with, because now we see the other teams are starting to put new wings and new stuff in the water. It’s going to be, in the next 2-3 months, I think it's going to be very interesting to see what all the other teams has done and how we can approach the future.” 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

The speed at which New York Yacht Club American Magic went from one-design to LEQ12 mode on their AC40 perhaps gives a clue to just how advanced the American programme is after a brilliant winter of testing in Pensacola Bay. Today called for a mid-morning dock-out to catch a decent early morning breeze that was always set to die off into the afternoon, but these are the days that count. Grabbing even a few hours on a shifty, fading northerly breeze is of the utmost value with the design office keen to validate their thinking and calibrate what they see on the computer with what happens on the water in real-time. It’s an intense period for the Americans who continue to take big steps forward after de-commissioning Patriot, the team’s AC75 from AC36 where systems were honed at full-scale before the foil design race started in earnest with the AC40 at the weekend. Today, the team were in full test mode, keen to examine take-offs, cant sweeps, pitch and speed through a whole host of manoeuvres and straight-lines. The new starboard foil was very much the focus and the recon unit recorded that at times: “America seemed to struggle to self-foil on port tack in particular.” Michael Menninger, always brilliant in interview and one of the first names on the crew-list for the team as Flight Controller, summed up the noted issue saying: “Honestly, I don't think it’s a foil thing at all. I think it was just the way the breeze was, it was really up and down, and we had a J3 on for a lot of the morning and for the dying breeze, so it was just hard to get up.” Section 41.

It was exactly two years and two days ago since Te Rehutai, the winner of the 36th America’s Cup last sailed. Back then she was the most efficient AC75 ever built with design nuances that were ahead of their time and the Emirates Team New Zealand team lifted the America’s Cup high and proud on behalf of the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron. Heady days. Since then, Te Rehutai has stayed sealed inside at the back of the Kiwi team’s shed, far away from prying eyes, unwilling to give up even an ounce of intellectual property until the call was made to bring full-scale testing back into the AC37 cycle. I Pete Burling, the Cup winning helmsman from 2021 was buzzing to see ‘Te Rehutai’ back in the water saying: “It's incredibly exciting to see it going back in the water today, it's a pretty cool milestone for our programme here as a team to get back into some full scale testing and obviously there's some pretty big changes in the rule from the last edition of the America’s Cup through to this time with no runners on the boat and strengthening up the rig and today's really been about making sure all those parts go back together and we're ready to get back into some tuning.” Section 41.

From flat calm to full-on. It seems to be the story of Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli’s winter training camp in Cagliari and today was no different. Dawn broke and the Sella del Diavolo looked inviting, calm, serene even with spring sunshine breaking over the horizon but it was fool’s gold and pretty soon it was snorting at 14-17 knots with an angry sea that looked set to stay all afternoon. On the flat starboard foil things looked harder, pitch was hit and miss, but a case could equally be made that on port tack they were punching into the waves. Vittorio Bissaro, one of the key Flight Controllers for the programme gave a superb insight saying: “Well let's say that waves give us some feedback in terms of how the two foils behave, so probably I would say that we have a better feeling with one foil compared to the other in waves but I will not say which one of course.” Yes of course Vito, but the recon video offers a few hints.

As training sessions go, today (Friday) in Barcelona was about as valuable as it can get for any team aspiring to win the America’s Cup. Alinghi Red Bull Racing launched their AC40 into a heady Catalonian swell and put on a performance in light airs that will have every other Cup team analyst poring over the footage. It was classic Barcelona chop, the kind that gives Flight Controllers sleepless nights, with a confused swell beneath an onshore breeze that rose and faded around the 6-9 knots mark all afternoon. Lucien Cujean, a double Olympian in the 49er class and one of the new breed of coming Cup superstars was sublime in interview afterwards comparing the AC75, AC40 and his own experience in the 49er dinghy class, saying: “I think the most different thing is the load, definitely the loads you have to manage and to have a look on your screen and also the shape of the sails…and that's why it's so interesting to sail on the AC40 because you can have a quick look on the data and then sailing with your feeling. It’s still a 40-foot boat so you can really sail and turn it around in Barcelona.” Section 41.

It’s no secret in the America’s Cup community that New York Yacht Club American Magic has had a very good winter period. Training out of beautiful Pensacola, first in the team’s AC75 ‘Patriot’ and latterly in the all-new AC40 rocket-ship, they have impressed all round. The recon unit noted that “America looked a little faster” on the starboard foils and quizzed uber coach Tom Burnham who is a three-time sailor in the America’s Cup - once with Young America and twice with Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli, as well as being a coach to the Swedish team at AC35, after sailing (and in the rain!). No better person to interview, Tom was pleased with the first commissioning of the new foil saying: “It was basically a first testing day, first day of sailing with the new foil and just easing into it. We waited for the breeze to get a little bit lower and made sure we were careful with how we were sailing on that foil, but we just put it through its paces today and didn't have too long a day and got in at a reasonable hour to be able to be ready to go sailing on Monday.” Section 41.

For the Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli sailors, the mission is very clear in Cagliari at the moment. The design team are now into the final stretch before signing off on the AC75 and going into build in the next few months so the crucial calibration of the now switched foils to validate the direction of travel for the big boat is absolutely key. In interview afterwards, Round the World race winner and four-time Cup campaigner, Haracio Carabelli, gave his usual insightful interview as Design Co-Ordinator for Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli and he seemed more than pleased with where the team are at and the levels they’re hitting, saying: “I think we’re pretty happy. Just in time, the big boat is coming along in terms of design and all the teams will be closing up final decisions on it so we're pretty happy with what we’ve achieved so far and looking forward for the next month when we will also be coming with new stuff.” Section 41.

Take an AC40 out into 20 knots of breeze and you can be absolutely certain of an interesting afternoon. And Alinghi Red Bull Racing certainly had a very interesting one off the waterfront in Barcelona as the sailors rotated in to give everyone maximum time on the water and the clear brief to live well outside of their comfort zone was more than evident. In interview after sailing, Andrea Emone, herself a very accomplished grand prix racer and iQFOiL sailor with ambitions towards the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, gave a fascinating insight into the world of Technical Data Analysis. Talking about the sensors onboard the team’s AC40 and the AC75 she offered: “Sensors are not only for performance but plenty of other things depend on sensors so I couldn't tell you an exact number but what I can tell you is that it’s a lot, much more than you can imagine…and one sensor can create more than one variable and so imagine how big is the matrix of the numbers that each boat of this type is generating so we have to do a very good selection of what we want to see each day before going to the water that's for sure.” 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

The INEOS Britannia team had been keeping an eye all week on the weather for Thursday as the Bay of Palma promised some top-end breeze to allow the sailors to explore the extraordinary performance parameters of the world’s most exciting new foiling class – the AC40. And the Bay didn’t disappoint. 17-19 knots of south-south-easterly rattled across choppy seas that had the flight controllers on high alert as they wrestled with low flight upwind on the margin for stability desperate not to catch the bustle. Downwind it was all on as Giles Scott in the port pod and Dylan Fletcher-Scott in the starboard pod sought excellence on the waves, weaving through angles, desperate not to lose the rudder. But, as the team pushed ever harder, the inevitable occurred as a rapid-fire bear-away at the windward mark saw the team hurtle off downwind before throwing a fast gybe in, losing the rudder on a waveform causing the boat to nosedive and screw into the inevitable capsize. It’s all part of the game now in the America’s Cup in these small foilers and Giles Scott, always sublime in interview, was nonplussed by the one-water shenanigans saying: “We had a little mishap on the exit of one of our gybes and ended up losing the rudder - which is pretty easy to do in these boats - and then ended up with a nosedive and yeah, we rolled over unfortunately. But I think given the day and how hard we’re pushing, and you know we are pushing this boat as we want to see it at the corner of its performance, not that we aim to ever capsize but not necessarily a surprise, and certainly something that we are seeing all our competitors do as well.” 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.

Today, the Swiss encountered very different conditions to those of the rest of the week, with light southeast winds blowing in from the Sahara Desert and a residual half metre ground swell, but the intel gathered would have been gold-dust for the analysts and data gurus both onshore and back at base. We also saw the now customary crossing over to the windward side of the ‘ballast crew’ in marginal conditions to aid acceleration with a crewmember hanging off the windward shroud for all he was worth. Maxime Bachelin, one of the calmest and most logical sailors in the Cup world summed it up beautifully, as always, saying: “It was quite tough, I would say it was a lot to do for the trimmers because we need to power (up) the sail quite big when it was in a lull but we are still learning the boat…I think we're doing a very good job.” Section 41.

Some days on the journey to the America’s Cup are just plain hard and for the New York Yacht Club American Magic Team, Tuesday’s session was a stop-start affair with long stints of foiling brilliance clouded by a few rare errors thrown in to remind everyone that sailing on the ragged edge of control is hard. With Tom Slingsby swapped out just after lunch, and just after a bow stuff, as he reportedly was headed to catch a plane flight, Riley Gibbs came on for the afternoon session to accompany Paul Goodison in the helming slot and the J3 call was made with the wind reaching peak speeds with gusts of up to 18 knots. It was relatively flat water inshore in Pensacola Bay but the team didn’t look their usual uber controlled self as flight control was occasionally off kilter and take-offs looked tricky. There looked to be issues with the mainsheet or traveller control and a Chase Boat crewmember could be seen mopping up what looked to be an hydraulic leak around the aft deck. Whether the hydraulic issue led to what was the shot of the day with ‘America’ cavitating their rudder and going into a nosedive and capsize, is unclear but Dan Morris alluded to it in interview afterwards saying: “You lose a little mainsheet tension, have a couple of issues and next thing you know you're in the drink…but no major damage and spirits are high and the boats are just such a blast and it's a great little tool to keep the programme moving forward.” Section 41.

This raised pilothouse yacht was built by Westship. Although it was first delivered back in 1991, you'd never guess that based on the interior refit! Inside features 3 staterooms and a full beam owner's suite. I loved the dining room with the luxurious bar! This would work well for a family to cruise on or as a charter yacht which it has had a successful history doing in the past.

The huge star-spangled banner was fully extended from the crane at the New York Yacht Club American Magic team base offering a fairly decent clue as to the wind strength out on Pensacola Bay. But, keen to get time in all conditions, the sailors stayed inshore for the flat water and were up and rocketing in double-quick time. Impressive to watch, American Magic was hitting speeds in the low 40 knot region downwind but there’s something about the way they sail, the sheer technique, that oozes class and control. You never really see the Americans ragged. They did this in ‘Patriot’ too and it’s the vast well of experience that they are drawing on that makes them such a thrilling force in this America’s Cup cycle. Lucas Calabrese, undoubtedly one of the very best flight controllers and trimmers in world sailing at the moment, offered a brilliant and open interview afterwards, clearly buzzing from the short session saying: “Yeah it was a nice breeze, around 16 to 20 knots from the north-northwest, it was really nice on the Bay and certainly pushing that little bit more closer to the limits, a little short with some issues with the rudder but good to be out there in the breeze.” Speaking specifically about his role and the unique demands on the flight controllers, Lucas said: “Well obviously trying to keep the heel constant is what you're trying to do as a trimmer and obviously being that puffy and shifty doesn't make the job easy but it’s really good training and you know even though it's considered kind of flat water in the Bay, it was still pretty challenging to get boat in the right spot.” Section 41.
