Ben Cornish and Giles Scott
Ben Cornish and Giles Scott had the pedal to the floor once again out at the INEOS Britannia winter training base in Palma for another highly productive day of both data gathering and technique training. The early part of the session saw the team practicing and refining take-off transitions and protocols, popping T6, the ‘Silver Bullet’ as the team calls her, with ease before splashing down and repeating. Once flying, the sailors went on long blasts up towards Maguluf and back to Arenal at breath-taking speeds into the 40-knot ‘sound barrier’ and throwing in some more than decent foil-to-foil tacks and gybes. At one point, T6 sailed through a fleet of International Dragons, the three-man keelboats that were last sailed in the Munich Olympics in 1972 and a neat juxtaposition was cast between the old and the new, showcasing just how far the sport of sailing has come in 50 years.
Jeff Causey, the Palma shore crew manager, offered an insight into the sessions afterwards saying: “The goals are always just to keep learning moving forward. We always set out at the beginning of the day with an agenda and a lot of times we measure a good day by ticking off the things we intended to tick off, but we're learning a lot about the boat that that we didn't expect as well which is a good thing, so time on the water is where those gains come. That's really the priority 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.
