Alinghi Red Bull Racing BoatZero Day 51 Summary

One quality you can firmly associate with Alinghi Red Bull Racing is persistence, and today (Tuesday) patience was added to the list as the team waited all day for the thermal Garbi breeze to filter in along the Barcelona waterfront and were rewarded with beautiful sailing conditions late in the afternoon. This was the longest day on the water for the Swiss by far and with Team Principal Ernesto Bertarelli, wearing the coded helmet #00, in town over the last couple of days, it was the opportunity to show the boss just what the buzz that has been building around the team in recent weeks, is all about. He will have left highly approving of how his team is gelling and advancing in this America’s Cup cycle. Rob Salthouse, Sail and Rig Liasion for Alinghi Red Bull Racing is interviewed by the team's Recon Unit after another day on the water for BoatZero. 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
