International Moth World Champion, Dylan
International Moth World Champion, Dylan Fletcher-Scott, got his first taste of the America’s Cup today steering the INEOS Britannia AC40 on its second day of sailing out of Palma and as auditions go, it was pretty impressive.
Leigh MacMillan put the AC40 into context versus the team’s prototype LEQ12 ‘T6’ saying: “It's different, there's a lot less going on for us on this boat, there’s a lot of things that happen automatically and so it's a different kettle of fish and really kind of geared up just for the racing not for the development. So we were just purely focused on the boat handling whereas in T6, the boat handling is a bit of an afterthought really as we’re into the data collection and getting the testing that we need for the designers… I think they are going to be great racing machines, they're all going to be identical and performing, it’s a really high performance boat, so it's going to be a great racing getting them out there all against each other.”
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.
