After what has been such a positive period for INEOS Britannia, the sailors rounded out the week with just T6 on the water today and their only opposition being Mother Nature at her angriest. Thunder cells forming inland with lightning strikes in the distance meant the British could only grab a two-hour weather window but managed to tick off a load of testing before Xabi Fernandez, the Head Coach, threw some marks in and let the sailors go racing, albeit shadow boxing racing.

Speaking afterwards, Iain Jensen gave a great insight into the team speaking about the differences between this campaign and the last: “I guess the team feels much bigger this time and to me it feels like we're in a much better spot. Mercedes are reasonably new to the to America's Cup but that they're learning things quickly and I think moving forward we're going to be really well placed.”

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.
