INEOS Britannia T6 Day 38 Summary

Recon Diaries: HIGHER & FASTER IN PALMA Supercoach Rob Wilson gives the low-down on another brilliant session out in the Bay of Palma for INEOS Britannia on Thursday and explains the high-mode that the Giles Scott and Dylan Fletcher-Scott were playing with all day. Rob confirms that much focus remains on the W-Foil that he describes as “an interesting foil” and also explains what the red markers are for on the bow of ‘T6’ the team’s LEQ12 test platform. Later in the day, Rob laid out a course for the sailors to throw T6 around and “remember what it’s all about” whilst still gathering the never-ending stream of data. A thoroughly entertaining video from one of the most respected coaches in high performance sailing globally. 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
