It was a dull start to what turned out to be a highly productive data gathering day for INEOS Britannia with leaden, dull skies greeting the ever-cheery early morning shore team who are doing wonders with keeping T6 operational and the sailors firmly in their drysuits and on the water.

Asked if the boat was up at 100% operational capacity now after several days of near perfect sailing time, Giles Scott was fairly candid when he said: “It's getting closer. We’ve still got some reasonably big-ticket items that we know we've got to iron out and will be looking to do that over the over the coming weeks. It's a bit of a balancing act getting good time on the water collecting that key information that the design team need for decisions for RB3 (Race Boat Three) so that's really the juggling act we're playing at the moment.”

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.
