NZTiger 20 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 When lying on its side there appears to be a line attached to the hull which I imagine they're pulling to help with righting her. It thought these boats were supposed to be self righting if the foils were configured correctly (both down?). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
erice 732 Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 looks they pitched too high stalled the foils lost lift, lost headway, got blown over 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ex Elly 268 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Looked like something went wrong with their foil controls. They had already borne off from close hauled to a beam reach successfully, then appeared to do a sudden unexpected bear away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
erice 732 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 BIG SPLASH! https://www.tvnz.co.nz/one-news/sport/other/americas-cup-challengers-release-spectacular-footage-near-disaster-in-training The footage from Instagram shows the American syndicate’s smaller AM38 test boat flying nose first into the water, with the boat quickly capsizing. ... It's understood it was late last year in the earlier stages of training, but the American Magic crew are yet to reveal exactly when or where the incident happened. It's also believed former Team New Zealand skipper Dean Barker was at the helm at the time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

erice 732 Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Based on the rising public debate last week, I expect we'll see an announcement about special entry for America's Cup teams next up......in july for aug? The transtasman travel bubble has also been in the spotlight, and announcements about plans and progress will build over the coming weeks......in july for aug? Next up we can expect to see the Government talk more openly about plans for allowing foreign students back for the start of the 2021 academic year.......in nov for jan? https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=12337391 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
