They having some scanning for detect some cracks in Carbonfibres gives in mast ? Sailing months under so torsion of course giving little cracks or layers going off?

make some gliding vids

Glad we didn't do RTI this year - It's reminiscent of my British Steel Southern Ocean experience!

One vote for suspected gout in the big toe grand Master

Not really " A trophy EVERYONE wants to win" - in reality - this is billionaires competing who has longer ...you know what. Actually - that is how it started 150 years ago. After all - admit it. Was it for "everyone" - there would be not 5 teams - but 150 teams. So...

Wow the French have stolen a march on all other challengers 20 years of development at their finger tips.

Why aren't the markers INFLATABLE ?

Hohoho 3 nations winning after US🙈 Really🤷 Swiss with 99% kiwis and another sailors, trainers ,tactical instructors and a ship built in switzerland only after how many cycles of same class ships! Even sailmaikers was not swiss! Only international money from an swiss passport holding billionaire was a swiss. Ohhh how nice. Then US was mostly US and aussies - kiwis was always almost they country! Swiss bertarelli was buying cup with people organise all for him sorry. Its in law but why then telling swiss winning it if money investor from switzerland was winning?

What's the entry requirements for the races?

I find it amusing that they have gone all-in with full-suspension foils, but are still scared of competing against multihulls.

Those things would crumple if you sneezed near them….. Here’s a suggestion for the future - the Americas Cup should consist of four laps around the Isle of Wight (in winter…..)

Really enjoyed filming this Musto Skiff Nationals 2022 at Eastbourne Sovereign S.C. We’re available to video or photo events, nationals etc, and can supply original footage from past events upon request!

They just cut away the failure part off the video, but looks like mast fails under compression, as the first thing we see is mega sag in the headstay, whilst still attached om noth sides😅

Interesting that the luff seemed to pull away from the mast potentially triggering the break.

Tragic

It looked like the forestay went first then mainsheet tension did the rest.

Swiss sailing...

Kiwis were hammering it in close to 30 knots in Auckland. No doubt a “lets see if it breaks” test. I don’t think they’ll be too concerned.

go back to wood masts

this is probably a manufacturing defect.

Mast didn't fail.. it only takes a pin in the headstay to fatigue.. it'san made it'll fail somewhere.. but.. wind was at the top of the range.. someone puts a little too much clew tension on the "hydraulics".. shot loads.. carbon sails & no stretch.. it's all an experiment.. so many variables in engineering these

Unluggy ⛳

ETNZ 7th April Auckland from 6:40, winds 25-35....but where they are called "back paddock"you can always add another 10 onto official number of the day due to the topograhpy of Auckland.I bet the swiss have their slide rules out at this time...ruclips.net/video/HPmKugCkHXQ/видео.html

Fortunately no-one injured, which could easily happen. I’ve experienced a dismasting in a 40 ft. Malcom Tenant Wild Thing trimaran more than a decade ago. Not a pleasant experience although we were happily uninjured too.

Looked like either mast step or headstay gave way?

great style and good clips and chat from these guys

the dolphins were spectators and you did not let them watch the race, isnt that discrimination

red bull bought the mast from ali express this time they will buy it from temu. 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂🤣🤣😂

ETNZ sailed in 30 knots if i recall and probably were going better to break shit here than over there

Mast step shear, Wow! ❤

Its not mast built problem! Its how build load and thinking about what all bend on it! Every team knows structural strenght and if design sails and zwist wrong thats happening? Sail controll,headsail controll and point of fixed all its AC perfection of getting most of having... Maybe alinghi must rethinking mutch not only a new mast and its fixed!

Better now than later. All the best from NZ 💪🏾🙏🏾

These updates are fantastic, thanks!

With all these submerged parts I can only imagine the happiness of the orcas in seeing it sailing off the coasts of Spain and Portugal, a real party. Still, nice boat.

Thank you!! who's your money on for the lap?

These single handed races with fast boats violate one of the most important rules, watch keeping. They need to be changed to at least two man crews.

Those are not sailboats. They are hydrofoils. They need to get back to regular boats…

Why so much coverage about the X2?? Paid for content???

this is so behind the news, why was it just posted now?

Sweet!

Some getting a wardrobe with instructions and not straight able to fix togheter.... now for French getting busy time to clues out what strategic behind and get they conclusions for developing. Wishing good succeed

Why creepy human thinking about last years orcas attacked sailing boats🙈🤷‍♀️. At street of gibraltar and another places... Human still thinking be only on planet with knowing and remember what hurts? razor blades and every hobby surfers today with foils...then togheter with fishing sonar, military sonar, ships all over, motorboats, containers boats, its getting to mutch sometimes. Why humans not willing see seas under surface we doing. Its not against a dozen race jachts but hat human doing with seas. And now getting an trending food Krill🤮. Sailors should mutch ore lift they voice to protect seas and our surviving 🙏 Only norway fishing tons of krill for salmon industry- and labeling it as ecological. 🙏 sailing community doing more to save a little bit of oceans.

Worked out well for Sam Goodchild!!

As an American I’m actually quite surprised we are like really good at sailing. When I think sailing I think England.

2nd day out French look very fast and stable and fly very low, awesome to see 🤙

Sheeshk, it wasn't that cold in Halifax. Saturday wasn't St. Tropez in August but it was quite pleasant to be on the boat. Sunday was windy and a bit dampish (ok, it poured at times) but it's Canada!

How much is the AC affecting the loss of focus of some of the sailgp teams

Did I miss it or did Mr.Sheahan completely missed a VERY rare option on this boat - A BOW THRUSTER! Not bad for a budget Outremer.

At this point get rid of the humans and let an AI run the race.
