Louis Vuitton 37th America's Cup Barcelona

27 күн бұрын

The INEOS Britannia base in the heart of the Port Vell was alive with guests and media for the official naming ceremony of the boat that all British fans hope and believe will be the history-maker and win the Louis Vuitton 37th America’s Cup for the first time in its 173-year history. Without a doubt, ‘Britannia’ presents the best chance ever of securing the ‘Auld Mug’ and the campaign has all the elements required for success after securing a place at the top table as the Challenger of Record.

The boat and crew are gradually improving, it will be impressive at the right time with more fine-tuning and training by the challenger of record.

Slip there as Giles called it RB3, and I bet that's what it will still be called inside the team.

Aren't all their boats called Britannia?

exactly what I thought

Surprised Jim didn't want the boat named "Monaco". The team might not bring the cup back but if there is a competition for best use of platitudes we will certainly win it.

They still look a bit unstable every time the bow drops in the water it will be wiping some speed off.

@johncleaver4245 26 күн бұрын

Totally agree…to my untrained eyes they seem to be hitting the water more often in the bigger swells than their counterparts with the smaller bow designs.

Stability also slows you down. Something somewhere is holding the boat stable and it will cause fraction. The balance is somewhere in-between.

Well, all modern fighter jets are also 'unstable' and that engenders their incredible performance capabilities. Instability can confer an advantage if it's precisely controlled as _Britannia_ appears to be. We all know INEOS' design objective in this AC cycle was exactly what we're seeing now. Agree with it or not, this is what the team was aiming for.

@@jamesaron1967 Yes instability can be a good thing...But also water produces a lot of drag and if they keep dipping their bow in it they will loose some speed if they can get their control systems sorted out i have no doubt they will be contenders.
