Minimising downtime in an America’s
Minimising downtime in an America’s Cup programme is a golden elixir, rarely achieved but always strived for and with such technically advanced boats being built, re-built, tested, and modified, the gremlins do, on occasion, creep in. For INEOS Britannia it was just one of those days after a scintillating foil data session on Tuesday, with sunshine and a perfect 6-10 knot breeze that looked set to build into the late afternoon, greeting the sailors on Wednesday.
Speaking afterwards, Jeff Causey the Shore Team Manager for INEOS Britannia was understandably giving few specifics away but put the situation in perspective saying: “We've just come out of the shed from being through this upgrade period for last few weeks so there's quite a lot of new kit on the boat and some of the new bits that we’re trying out didn't work as well today as we would have liked and that's part of what we're doing out there, so short day for us."
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.
