Another outstanding day of testing for the British out in the Bay of Palma, frustratingly cut short by just a couple of hours due to a technical issue with the data gathering chase boat. Bleddyn Mon, the vital link between the sailors and engineers within INEOS Britannia gave a superb interview after sailing today talking through the importance of the bustle and the end-plating effect that the team are trying to induce. Bleddyn also covers the effects of leeway and how the team induce the now-commonplace windward heel and why they do it.

A must watch for those interested in the technical aspects of the America’s Cup and the sailing styles, modes, trims and cants that all the teams are playing with 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.
