Sailing Education Adventures

Here is the latest footage from Orace Racing Team.
These winds in Auckland were not much different from our conditions here in SF.

It's very interesting to observe the evolution of this new format and boats. It seems that because it's new -- and perhaps because of the new AC attitude -- the process is more transparent. We get to observe the teams struggling with boats pitch-poling and getting out of control.

I do wonder if by the time the AC72s start racing, they will have fine tuned the boats so much (and the cost of breaking them will be so much greater!) that the visual spectacle we can see now will have been greatly toned down.
