Youth & Women's Team Get Vital Time In The Boat | May 17th | America's Cup

The Youth & Women were out early today on the Hauraki Gulf, desperate to get vital time in the boat before the established senior team arrived with their potent LEQ12. However, Ray Davies, the Team Coach, threw a spanner in the works in terms of sail set-up today to equalise things out a bit and set a powerful J1 on the AC40 one-design and reigned in the LEQ12 with a J2 in just 8-10 knots of breeze. Interesting session to see just how draggy the J1 is when in flight with a reduced top-speed but just how potent it was in terms of acceleration after manoeuvres. Good exercise.
