Stus-List Americas Cup thoughts from Gary Jobson

Hey guys, Just watched this video of Gary Jobson speaking about twelve meters and the foiling monohulls. He shares some stories about racing twelves with Ted Turner and Dennis Conner and makes some interesting observations about the newer boats. The images of various sailboats racing are worth

Stus-List Americas Cup and Vendee Globe

FYI, Americas Cup challenger Patriot relaunched and practiced today at full speed. Vendee Globe news: The first IMOCA 60 crossed the finish line an hour ago. Three others expected to finish tonight and since two of them have time credits for their participation in a rescue earlier in the race,

The Americas Cup had some very close racing between challengers UK against Italy. Very close "match racing" with several "port/starboard" challenges and nine lead changes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCJxLRAGTE4 The Vendee Globe is getting tight with seven boats close to the leader approa

Stus-List Americas Cup 12 Meters

There was a 1992 movie made about the Americas Cup in twelve meters that is fictional but well filmed. Francis Ford Copula put it together. I found it is available on both Netflix and Amazon or you can order the DVD from Amazon. Here's the trailer for "Wind". https://www.netflixmovies.com/wi

The books about those Cup races are all very interesting. Bertrand got his Engineering degree at MIT, his thesis was on sail design. He knew Conners very well and IIRC was a genoa trimmer in Conners crew, years prior. It's a small club of sailors that make it to that level. The Mechanic and th

Re: Stus-List Americas Cup

I'm just saying that 40 minutes for a sailboat race is a pretty short limit. (Did guys have somewhere else they had to be? Was it getting dark?) Boats need to be able to race in a variety of conditions, and even though winds were light, the boats were still sailing in the high teens so it was ha

There's not really much nebulous about a 40 minute time limit. its not like they could have done any different if Oracle was leading. 100 foot sloops would be cool. Andy Andrew Burton 61 W Narragansett Newport, RI USA02840 http://sites.google.com/site/andrewburtonyachtservices/ +401 965-52

Reminds me of how the NYYC kept the cup for over a hundred years by using the rules to their advantage. Whoever wins, I wonder if the next cup will be contested with these foiling catamarans? Maybe the next challenge should be in 100 foot luxury sloops, with proper accomadations for all crew
