AJ Oliver 154 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 That Ozzie-globalist-corporate-vampire-squid boat . . looked very good - 100% up on foils, or quite close to it. (may 30th, Day Four vs. Groupama) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jon 360 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Just rewatched today's race and my uneducated guess is that they were trying either different rudders or a different rudder setup Commentators said they were using the same rudders but I believe there isn't a limit to the number of rudders so how could they tell from looking at the screen and I'm sure they are all trialling different setups or at least the ones that are going to be n the hunt Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chewing Gum 17 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 on sky there's an alternative audio stream. anyone tried that? yes tried it Apparently it is just the audio off one boat or maybe both with no commentary. You could listen to Lester/Tasker audio at the same time: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwXTOn3gkbnOPyb58whfjvQG09sLZHRZP&dclid=CNL6-dnpltQCFdIaKgodKxMFYg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,235 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 Nope, and nope, if it's the links I posted. Just download the files and play on a media player - they are not streaming... windows media player works fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chewing Gum 17 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 On the Vodafone site there are some good Tasker and Lester interviews Particularly the day 4 review - talks to shore boss about the wing etc and good interview with Blair Tuke - he speaks very well. https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=vodafone%20new%20zealand Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chewing Gum 17 Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 A few questions and observations that someone may be able to comment on: Rig tension - side stays they don't appear to be particularly tight ? Mainsheet - looks as though loads are not that high - on the boats with ropes/winches the trimmer does not wear gloves and the helmsman also seems to easily hold the sheet during gybes. Jib sheet - who controls that and how - is there a winch ? In the last race when ETNZ crashed and rudders let go what was the risk of a capsize ? In practice ETNZ sometimes sailed without a jib - any comments on that ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
