In stark contrast to weather
In stark contrast to weather across the pond in America or down under in New Zealand, Europe is proving to be a somewhat tricky winter training venue for the America’s Cup teams. The Bay of Palma today was millpond still, a shimmering mirrored seascape that promised a little but delivered precisely nothing in terms of breeze for the INEOS Britannia team whose shore team and sailors took full marks for effort.
Iain Jensen summed it up beautifully saying: “We knew that it was going to be a light day but we were hoping to get a couple of hours in, with these boats they're so new and so complicated that even when you don't get to go sailing there's things you can look at so it wasn't a day that was completely wasted but for sure it would have been nicer to be able to sheet on and go for a yacht.”
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.
