Cup Stuff & Wing Foiling - 5 Min warning #17 23/8/24

Matt and Andy discuss what we learned from the first day of Preliminary Races in the America's Cup. How alarmed should the Italians - and any other team - be about the systems shutdown on Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli in their match against Emirates Team New Zealand? And as for Alinghi Red Bull Racing, talks of their demise after that second rig break proved to be very premature as the Swiss bounced back with their spare rig and sailed to a dominant victory over the French in their opening match. Meanwhile, Andy is out in China at a Wingfoil Racing World Cup with 113 competitors and some possible future stars of the America's Cup learning their craft in the fastest growing watersport of the moment. (Note: Andy and Matt had their catch up on 23 August?clearly a fair bit of water has passed over the foils since then!) For links to more stories and content from PlanetSail and Sailjuice...
