I hate the foils, its not sailing.
O.K. that was awesome. I have no idea what I saw.
I don't understand this elitist "sport".
Now they're putting such foils also under the Optimists.
So exactly how far back from the line do you wanna be?
Damn boat wanted to fly :- O How crazy is that!!
Why is it that we allowed "modern technology" to ruin everything. Might as well add a couple of engines and control the whole mess with computers. Sailboat? What sailboat?? Hundreds of millions spent while nine million humans die every year from starvation??
I haven't followed any of this in years. When did these vessels become hydrofoils!!???? That's ...almost terrifying! Any body? Serious question.
@Marc Wanagas Oh far out! Is it just the cats and these vessels or are they all foils now?
Foiling in the Cup started with the AC72 catamarans in 2013.
The idea of a hull as a necessary integral to design is restrictive. What is implied by new developments is an aerial platform using the marine surface to keep the centre of gravity located and balanced.
Не фига себе, яхта !
Why do so many people hate Great Britain. They do so well for a small country. Small minded people.
They usually do in response to the annoying uppity attitude of brits towards foreigners. But I agree, Britain did give a lot to the world
When two tribes go to war one is all that you can score
Amazing when they work properly, terrifying when something goes wrong..
What is the rule in case they had man off board? Would they need to abandon?
Ma lo skipper del Britannia é Draghi?
Ainslie must have learned that maneuver from Barker and Hutchinson.
The Prada cup final is looking a little wop-sided...
amateurs crew
how many times does Ineos have to take off before someone gets really hurt?
Ahahah 🤣🤣
Luna Rossa is fantastic 💚⚪❤
What does this have to do with sailing? Bunch of formula 1 drivers on a sailboat! It shouldn't be crazier!
She’s tough!!!
The pros make sailing the AC75 look easy. Except that it’s like balancing a bowling ball on a razor blade.
Let me guess, you have a beard but can't change a tyre,, Stop fucking around with bowling balls and shave the beard off.
🇬🇧🤘🤘🤘🇬🇧
If it were easy, everybody would do it.
Makes me realize the impact American Majic took.
Ben was about a metre or two away from taking an unexpected dip.
Lost at sea, then they might have a chance.......someone had to say it.
as good as Ineos looked at the prelims they look out of it now and luna rossa has picked up a lot of speed and much better starts and tacks. I hope that NZ is watching and learning something.
I'm sure NZ was watching and learning. It will be nearly impossible to beat them. I'd be happy if Luna Rossa managed to be a match for NZ. Fingers crossed for a good performance, so the regata won't be boring
Dan - the stats of the racing says there is very little between them - either to windward and or downhill, what does seem to shine through is the smoothness of the Luna Rossa yacht - I am taking a punt bit Jimmy Spithill is pretty shrewd at match racing and as credentialled as Ainslie is - its from fleet racing which is entirely different. And without being on the boats it looks like the way the use of two helmsmen is starting to show. Subtle difference is one set of eyes is always out of the yacht - 4 races - 100 hundred minutes of sailing - lots of tack @15 a race+ - and so far not one mistake from Luna Rossa. Very composed sailling.
I prefer "Old School" America's Cup. I like to see a full spinnaker going downwind, with sail changes. I hated when they went to catamarans, and now these even more "techy" outrigger foils. I should have seen it coming when they started playing with the keels...
don't watch then. There are plenty of old classes doing regatas and archives of stuff on youtube....
I rarely click onto jacht racing videos, but wasn't americas cup always the "f1 of offshore races"? Pushing the limit of sailing? And foiling would be the next step of known wayw to reduce drag. But maybe i am wrong and its a push of them in the last years?
engage Dolphin mode .. took the attention away from Luna Rossa falling off the foils at exactly the same moment tho :)
😀😀😀😀😀😀😀🇮🇹💪
🇮🇹
when Americans and Brits try to fly to beat Luna Rossa... lol
This remind us how hard it is to control the beast
😂😂😂4️⃣❌0️⃣
good save!
Inglesiiiiiii? Sucate😂
CHOKE
Una volta si incontrarono un Inglese un americano ed un europeo italiano... Noi siamo l'Europa l'Italia ha plasmato l'Europa
@Johnny thanks, we certainly need it 😂
@Roy Thompson I’m Italian and I completely agree with your opinion. It’s always a mistake to put labels on nations. Good luck for the next race.
@titaoit Not all UK citizens are as you describe so please be careful with your false sweeping statements. Since LR has won 4 races I am seeing the same arrogance by Italian supporters so it looks like it's not unique to UK. In some cases friendly banter has degenerated into insults (by British, Italians and NewZealanders), and I have always reported these to the moderators of the channel where needed. I personally was quick congratulate LR on thier wins despite wanting Ineos to win. Also, your reply is irrelevant to my comment. UK is part of Europe, it's a fact, indeed they were one of the nations that shaped the European Union as well as Europe. Anyway, good luck to both teams in the rest of the races ( Ineos need more of it than LR :) ) and I hope you enjoy them.
@Roy Thompson l'Inghilterra si sente da sempre superiore e ci guarda in modo arrogante ciò dispiace parecchio. La superbia è un peccato capitale. Ben Aisle ha lo stesso difetto: arrogante e superbo... È solo uno sport ed è fuori luogo... Avrei festeggiato luna rossa anche se avesse perso. Chi non sa perdere non sa nemmeno vincere...
United Kingdom is Europe (although not EU now because of Brexshit). 😂
Barca da cross... Ben è molto arrogante
That rigging line gets in the way of the shot. If only the cameraman had the presence to step one foot to either side.
@Stormtrooper 01 that goes with the 2 makeup artists, 1 masseur and 3 light engineers
@Wesley Harris they have a full camera crew and 1 sound guy on board
There are no cameramen on the boats. They are remote cameras, so only swivel but no lateral movement.
Rita’s got a wild side, channel your emotions Rita😬
@J G thank you!
@Getoverhere look at the name on the hull, the highlighted letters, it’s her nickname. (Oops only one t😬).
@J G why do you call Brittania like Rita?
@Pete De Feo do you know who Rita is?.......... it’s Brittania🙄
Stop hurting people!!!!!
Ainslie trying to hard to mess up Luna only ends up messing himself.
I'm British and I hope it sinks. How can anyone support an organisation that makes tens of billions of $$$ for dumping chemical waste...?
As to one other team getting money from on off the biggest polluters and abusers of human rights? An another using sweat shops and polluting our earth with chemical dyes?
Not for much longer, then you can go back to your knitting.
And Pradas T shirts are made in sweat shape in the Far East.
what has happend to the uk team .. rubbish, great .. rubbish again
We missed the great bit.
luna rossa start as worst team, not the worst sail, step by step they just start to co-operate and show you all what they can do, meanwhile they do this, believers start to fail, if you think about, life is the same.
Stepping back a bit...is this what we really want to see, crews struggling to tame these monstrous machines, or good sailing of manageable craft? My take is non-sailors prefer the former, sailors prefer the latter. Money talks.
@smithsway Perhaps you can tell me what those things hanging off the mast are? Could they possibly be sails? And if they are sails, would not the proper phrase for what they are doing is "sailing"? But please, don't be upset. I'm just expressing my opinion.
@smithsway The word is "you're" as in "you are", not the possesive "your". You may wish to correct your post. Every post, someone whines that AC "isn't showing the racing I want to see". Fine. Go elsewhere. No one cares the tiniest bit whether you like it or not. 12 meter racing, the staple of AC racing for a very long time, is still active. Perhaps you and others will enjoy that, there. Its simple to change what AC yachts will look like. Just win the Cup and become Defender, so you can decide the rules. That should only take about $100M and a foiling team. Why anyone would toss foiling out after winning and that investment, to go back to antiquarian racing is beyond me.
@WhatAboutTheBee "Antiquarian sailing" . Or perhaps he's talking about "sailing" and your talking about something else... foiling. The are both valid but very different. As the Americas Cup is a yacht race there is room for both and he is just voicing an opinion.
Nascar mentality...small track going as fast as possible, easy to follow for non-sailors...
It will evolve to Radio-Controlled America's Cup. All motorized, no crew/grinders, just a guy sitting in a game chair somewhere, looking at a display... It's becoming the drag racing of sailing as it is...
"Got Away" in the title implies that the UK are in charge and in the lead! In this context that is clearly wrong. This is either bad English or click bait. Probably both. In reality it appears that Ineos just weren't on the top of their game on the day. (As much as I'd like them to be!)
@neil baker 'It got away from them' it didn't 'get away'.... 😂
The boat got out of control, i.e. it got away. It's not that hard Tony.
Fly me To The Moon 🎤🎵🎶🎼🎻🎷🎹🎺🎸
Certainly a great demonstration of technology, but a race? Not so much. It is beautiful to watch, but seems a bit pointless.
Such is life.
@Sol Invictus Hard to argue with your statement....the results rather speak in support of what you say. By the by....I LOVE your country, my wife and I did a 60 mile hike in Tuscany a few years back, hotel to hotel...it was the best vacation ever....if I was younger, we would move.
Exactly my thoughts this morning. Even if Ineos were winning I probably wouldn't carry on watching. No sail changes, no spinnakers, you can't see the crew for helmets and goggles, boring course... Back to the rugby then !
Not even technology, Ineos have 5 time the budget of Luna Rossa and more time to work on the boat after the Round Robin, still money and time didn't sort it out. Italians spended better their less resources and used even better their less time to improve the boat.
Britannia bye bye. ......... we have a PARTY. 😊😀😁😂😃😄😅
@Raffaele Di Vora Thanks 👍
@Roy Thompson I want to point out, that I agree with you, it's always a small minority causing this kind of musunderstandings. That was the spirit of my original comment, but maybe it doesn't come across, I can't judge well since english is not my language
@Roy Thompson Just take a look in any F1 forum, for example, the bias towards british teams and drivers is almost intolerable there
@Raffaele Di Vora Thanks for the 'apology'.... usually arrogant attitude of Brits? You are adding to the insult despite your veiled apology. It is a minority of our countrymen, yours and mine, that cause such a bad impresisón. I live in mainland Europe and do not perceive the bad feing feelings towards Brits that you biasedly say. Anyway, good luck to both teams in the Match.
@Roy Thompson It is an arrogant comment and I would like to Apologize on behalf of the vast majority of my countrymen who are not as toxic as this. However, I would also remark that "you reap what you sow", outside England there is diffuse resentment towards the usually arrogant attitude of Brits, so frustrated people pick that up and take it as excuse to behave horribly
A Brexit moment, truly. 😅
@Christian Fournier Again, it was just a joke. I'm not celebrating, just enjoying the ride as it's unfolding at the moment. And although 4-0 is certainly better than 0-4, I'd sign right now, on the spot, for a humble 7-6. 😉
@Christian Fournier you should look on a map. UK is in Europe, it always has been and always will be, but not in the EU. A minority of the country (United Kingdom as a whole, not England) voted in favour of leaving the EU and very quickly realised they had made a mistake.. So don't tell me what my country wants, not even they're know. They are like sheep, or worse, lemmings 😂 And whilst I am British, I live in continental Europe and many of my European friends and family are sad at the loss of UK from the EU. Anyway, back to the racing hopefully on Thursday, let's just try to enjoy that.
@Cxar71 & Roy_Thompson = To Cxar, I’m sorry I ruined your joke. But this is a sporting contest, & Brexit is not at its place in it : too serious a matter. Besides, I’m ill at ease with all these Italians already boasting about victory : Ineos could still find a technical device giving them an insuperable superiority in the next regattas (remember AC34). And, even if the match were almost won, it would not be fair to boast overly about victory. There is a quotation which I like ; it is from a French diplomat during the negotiation of the Peace of Utrecht (with the Dutch envoys, which were overly boastful of the Allied military successes) : “On voit que vous n’avez pas l’habitude de vaincre” ! A bit of restraint in celebrations would do no harm ... This said, “Forza Luna Rossa” ! To Roy_Thompson= For centuries, Britain has both been in and out of Europe ; just watch the “Yes Minister” sketch about the EU : it nails it down pat. But now, “the times are a-changing” ; continent-sized blocs are in the making, have been for 3/4 of a century. A country has to choose its bloc, and England has chosen the Anglosphere, for the better or worse. England must live with its choice : the fence is now too wide for straddling! If you feel European, it is a commendable thought ; but your country does not feel the same, and neither do the Continentals : family feelings for an estranged brother are conflicting, but resentment at his departure is the dominating sentiment. ___ .
@Christian Fournier Look at a map. The UK is a part of Europe, so Europe will be in the Match ... 😂 (UK now not part of the EU).
@Christian Fournier Chill, mate. It was only a joke... Ineos, which is British, was on the brink of exiting the competition, like American Magic did a few weeks ago... alright, now that I had to explain it, you ruined the fun for me, thank you! But I have to be honest, I do root for Luna Rossa... I'm Italian, should I feel guilty about that? 🤔
einen Wheelie können sie, die Briten ... 😂
Barker's disease
ITUK had better boat handling before to offset a slower boat, now LR have sorted their crewing LR need to find something else, but What?
Che botta, meno male che tutti sono OK
Would have been a softer landing than any of the other boats due to that thick "keel" on it.
Luna rossa: "We are going to win" Ineos: " I belive i can flyyyy!"
When Jimmy is around competitors try the only way of getting by, flying :-D
Watch Ineos make a comeback!
@Roy Thompson yes I saw that, I still think LR has equal or more speed. Bottom line UK need to get their act together to have a chance
@Sergio Sciarretta Look at mozzy sails review and you will see that Ineos actually were faster and pointing better. However, they lost too much ground every time in tacks/gybes.
Aside of 'patriotism' and being sportively biased, I genuinely think that LR has a clear edge windward (tighter angle and speed) in all conditions so far. Britannia team really need to cut down on mistakes to hope..
Ahh ahh 🤣 😂... Britannia stiamo piangendo dalle risate 😂 🤣 😂 🤣
Beh oddio, gli americani si sono ribaltati. Almeno gli inglesi vanno meglio
Ha preso una bella botta con il boma in testa, fortuna che aveva il casco.
Giles ha rischiato di cadere in acqua ed addio gara!! *Giles risked falling into the water and goodbye to the race* !!
So nice to see INEOS Team loosing
what a very nasty thing to say..... although not sure what loosing is...getting loose???
Loosing ?? That is a looser statement
Why? You have an opinion expand
Dont say this, behind every team there are years of work, money, hope in a great race of sir Ben next days, nothing is lost. Hope for them, we must respect.
nice one
2 days a go I thought 7 to 4 in Rita's favor. Hmm now It might be 7 to 2 in Prada's favor. Still great to watch....
@Roy Thompson that’s what working from home is good for.
@Cream Cheese not much chance of them doing many mods since they are not classified as essential workers and will be in full lockdown 72hrs. Maybe they can do their lockdown in the boatshed (seriously), order pizza and curry takeaways, sleeping in the office and working.???.
@adriano bonaldo The virus keeps leaking out of hotel quarantine....same as Australia. There is little to no community transmission in both countries.
@Cream Cheese Uhmm.. NZ was Covid Free nation.
yes level 3 lock down from 14th Feb midnight for three days.....maybe no racing till thursday
One word....shit!!
ineos is 4 zip...
mainsail got stuck
Looked to me someone pushed a button for the flaps when they pulled the wing out. And did it twice so she climbed HARD and left the water, the momentum she shed going airborne had her land even harder, the only way to recover is to pull the sail back and let the air go, otherwise you climb out AND fall over.
just a gust I think. It seems limited control in variable wind & while tuned for max speed. When you get behind you gotta take chances so ... caution to the wind !
FAST Boats or SLOW Aircraft ?
@Deecon YT Exactly. When the AC was comprised of 12 meter yachts, *that* was sailing. They really let the rules get away from them. But that's how technology advances too. Can't have it both ways. But catamarans and these monstrosities should be a different class entirely. JMNSHO.
@J Eriksson Peeing dog sailg boat. The ugliest thing I've seen in my whole life :- S
Ugly boats no matter what
Definitely not sail boats anymore.
@Redcharcoalaz Both dull to watch. Sailors reduced to sail tech managers.
