Alinghi Red Bull Racing Boat Zero Day 27 Summary

After five hours on the water today, the team docked in just after sunset and Arnaud Psarofaghis, one of the coolest heads in the America’s Cup commented: “Today we knew it was going to be light and a long day on the water so we went out at midday and were waiting for the wind that didn’t really fill in before 4 o’clock…we got the testing that we wanted at the end so it was a good day for us.” 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
