It has been ten long
It has been ten long days since we last saw them on the water but the INEOS Britannia sailing programme came back to life today as the team launched ‘Athena’ the AC40 still very much in One Design mode for a profitable day offshore when the wind finally filled. On leaving the dock just before midday it was almost a glass-out, so the call was made to hunt for breeze some 14 miles offshore, far outside the Bay of Palma.
Jeff Causey the Head of on-Water Operations for INEOS Britannia offered a fascinating insight into the team’s schedule over the past ten days and he teased that T6 the team’s LEQ12 prototype that suffered extensive damage in the now infamous capsize, is almost ready to come back as he said: “There's clearly some damage that we suffered in the capsize that we need to recover and we’re mostly through that but it lined up as it turned out the capsize with an upgrade period where literally two days after the capsize we were planning to shut the boat down for these last three weeks anyway so we're nearing the end of that period and hoping to get the boat on the water soon with a handful of upgrades and in the meantime it sort of made sense to continue sailing and get the training on the AC40 and commission that boat so we’re ready to go.”
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.
