Im sure a large number of people have been waiting for this video since the news broke. One of the first comments on one video was "I cant wait for Mozzy Sails' take on this!". Thanks once again.

This is what I’ve been waiting for the last 12hrs…. Nice work! Great looking boat

Its Mozzysails season and i couldn't be happier 😊

You are the only go to for technical analysis of the progress towards the Cup. Great

Using the old foils makes perfect sense to me. The first thing I'd want to do is established that my new boat can go as fast as my old boat with the same foils. I also think the main sheeting system looks brilliant, I'm surprised we didn't see this earlier.

I love the Americas Cup - you make it twice as good. Thank you.

I'm Kiwi through and through but I love your neutrality and critical analysis. Keep it up.

What a beautiful looking AC75! This boat already looks fast, stable and low to the water line. Even on older foils. Will be fascinated to see how fast this boat will get with all the tweaks and changes it will under go between now and the defenders series. A boat like this and a crew like Burling and Tuke this will be combination that will take some beating. Good luck to the challengers.

Thanks for getting that video out while we slept😴 here in NZ. I knew you'd do it!🙂

I like his take on ETNZ's previous boat Terra Who Tie 🤗

Really enjoy your videos and analysis. Looking forward to seeing more of the other launches

Great video got up this morning and bingo. Not even in the news yet in NZ . Beautiful looking boat with some pretty trick features. Great to hear your assessment. Thanks.

Cheers for these clips Mozzie.

Great analysis Mossy. thank you

Thanks - a well thought through review as usual. Look forward to the other AC75 launches. 👍

Awesome. Have been looking forward to your first impressions of ETNZs new boat 🤓

You’re the best out there keep up the good work

Excellent, thank you mate, go ETNZ

Xmas is coming! Thanks Tom, another great one.

Beautiful shapes and finishes .. ! ..

Great update

Thanks Mozzy, brilliant analysis of this gorgeous AC75. The bow is very elegant and almost snooty. She knows all the other girls have to beet her to win the cup haha. The profile is almost similar to the last American challenger, don't you think?

Old foils will provide a good baseline when benchmarking new foils

Saw it sailing yesterday, shit she is fast , wasn’t a calm day too launched , mast , sails , gone ,,,no pissing about

Nice work, Tom.

Lovely lovely lovely. We’re on the on ramp 😊

Cheers Mozzy.👍😎

Mozzy Sails🎉 Forever top 💪🔥

Thanks!

Interesting video 👍

Preciuos review of new Te Reutai guys. I look forward to see your report on Luna Rossa now...🙏

Mind blowing tech. It’s seems a pity it’s not being contested in NZ but if the Kiwis get up in Barcelona then it will stamp them as one of the worlds greatest sailing nations. Frank Worsley would be utterly amazed and mighty proud of his sailing descendants. Go ETNZ.

The Champions👊🏽ETNZ

Do the old foils count in the number of foil models they can have this time round? Whatever the case it makes total sense to benchmark all the changes to the hull, rudder and rig against the old foils before locking down this years foil designs. Great video!

Teh - rrrreh - hoo - tie 👍

Great video. How much better/faster do you think these new boats will be? Will there be a measurable improvement in performance or ability to get on the foils, do you think?

Does the camber on the bustle give an indication of how trim could be used to increase the effency of the sails? Bow down mast raked forward (see forward raked wins on aircraft) reduces the tip vortex and associated drag but there are control issues some of which are mitigated by only having 1 wing.

The super interesting thing about this ETNZ setup is that they used 4m old foils instead of the 4.5 new ones. Okay, it's a ton lighter, but it shows a huge confidence in what they've done.

Pretty polished design, will it be enough? Time will tell. Tom, what are your thoughts on crew going under the deck please?

Trench looking learned from luna rossa? Foils now must on for AC in barcelona? what about sails? They still able now using foils and sails from before and changing to real cup stuff later? Thanks telling my question about foils... interesting see end of sail and sail controll. Im not counted how many after rules every team built already.

Make sure you have some beer in the fridfe for Rob.

I'd be flying them out and I'm a kiwi. As a wingsurfer and hobby foil designer, there's always more tweaks you can put into a foil 😁

The transit down time is a massive factor in the etnz programme. And believe me, it hurts them.

The new boat looks pretty nice to me. Proof is always in the pudding though!

These things are looking more and more like something you would see flying around Lando Calrissian's cloud city in Star Wars.

Your fast again

I am guessing we will see the new foils on Thursday 18th April

Looks like it will sail like a hot knife through butter

The way the transom pinches in will probably be faster when in displacement mode.

The first thing that jumped out at me was that the mast seems further aft than on Te Rehutai. There seems to my unscientific eye to be (possibly?) more foredeck length in front of the jib tack as well. I am wondering if this indicates: 1. the sail plan is further aft as a whole; and 2. the sail plan is higher aspect (as a whole)? This would (if it is the case) seem to indicate a conscious choice to top end optimisation, and I was expecting there to be a MASSIVE premium on achieving lift off in lumpy seas and light airs. I understand this is a trade off, but would be interested in your detailed analysis and the 3 of you discussing: (a) Is the mast step further aft (i) overall; and (ii) relative to the foil arms? (b) Is the sail plan as a whole higher aspect ration than Te Rehutai's? (c) Is there more deck length forward of the jib tack?

Would it be fair to say Orient Express will be identical - coming from the same design house. My hunch is (putting it out there) LR will look similar to ETNZ. INEOS and ARBull will be of similar design. AMagic will be somewhere in between (unknown?).

Berlusconi in an interview has just stated that the sails extend down to the water which when you look at the new boat sailing and the deep bustle i understand, would be interested in your comments

I think when it comes to foil designs the difference is Dan Bernasconi. The guy is miles ahead of the game

Video from another YT channel of ETNZ sailing the new gen boat: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pbKXe5dj1KqZfWw.html

To the winners go the foils

can you tell if they have the same number of stays. its hard to tell as they seem to have a backstay in some photos but not in others. are they all running inner and outer side stays and single forestay and no backstay

The formula 1 of yachts !

Please also analyze from the video I took of Team NZ's ac75

Do you think they fitted the old foils to get a like for like comparison to the performance of the last boat? If the foils are the same, then they can assess their new control systems?

Whats the new boat called? Hopefully something that rolls off the tongue more easily than the last one.

We can see the TNZ foils on the new French boat…

Bella🎉

Will the ship transporting the ETNZ AC75 pass thru the Red Sea? If so, we may need to send the Royal NZ Navy frigate😢

What do you think is most important, foils or hull shape

I think ETNZ are intending to be foiling 100% and have designed as such. They have refined the hull shape to be as slippery as possible through the air. The bustle is purely for end plating, not for touchdown/takeoff. That’s my take anyway. Can’t wait to see their new race foils, and some speed data at that time.

Please review also Lunarossa 😅😅😅

Ka pai 🇳🇿😎 He ataahua tena.

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Launched and fly... no mucking around there...

Designed to reduce drag

BOBSLED aerodynamics, more than anything else.

What’s your take on the space ship The Italians just put in the water.

Nice work from NZ ...let me help you with Te Rehutai pronunciation....like this......Tee rewho tie.......keep up the good work.!

Why are you sure they would transport the new boat to Barcelona by ship?

Fly kiwis ❤👍🇳🇿🤗

Hi Mozzy video re Luna Ross’s launch please? Thanks!

Go Team NZ, If we are lucky enough to hold off the top challenger, holy smoke then what??

thought I'd pop in just long enough to gauge how unsportsmanlike the keewees are this time round...

Yes....but Luna Rossa????

Hi Mozzy you didn't mention Team NZs boat has a guard rail all the way round it there last boat didn't I hope they take it off when sailing as it will cause drag and windage dunno why they put it on there no other AM cup boat has one.

So, why wouldn’t they fly the boat in like AM? Makes no sense to ship. What does that time scale look like? Time lost not refining the new boat. Maybe they think the lost time is ultimately not relevant as they are now pretty experienced with these boats?

Mozzy ignore the pronunciation pedants. Language and pronunciation evolve just like Dialects and accents etc. Māori is no different. Plenty of us scramble ( to some ears) English also …. :) Like others, very grateful for your videos. Cheers.

Look at the video attached. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bJ6FqZdzxJzaqaM.html Look at 55s. Are the foils not parallel to the centre line? They look splayed out but why would you want your leeward foil to track you away from the wind? Would be good for down wind but bad for upwind. If anything like a trim tab on keel on the old monohulls you would want the foil to track to windward. Does can't angle change this logic? Or is the angle deceptive on the video. I will let you investigate :)

Hi @Mozzy, your pronunciation is almost bang on - just remove the emphasis from the u. You can hear correct audio pronunciation for both 'Te' and 'Rehutai' using the online Te Aka Maori Dictionary. Make sure you scroll down to Te, rather than Tē.

Ko,Taihoro Nukukrangi ahau.

This is why it never makes sense to host the america's cup away from where you are. If this AC was in Auckland like it should be then ETNZ wouldn't have to worry about any transit.

PS Is this video showing her new foils kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b9Oghsqgt8zeZWw.html

Look out for black magic

A green boat? Green on a boat means bad luck.

love your work, but can I ask that you take a little time to learn to pronounce the NZ boat names a little closer to what they are.

Luna Rossa is the best looking racing yacht I have ever seen. Looks like a cross with a UFO, and as fast!

Not too sure why everything had to have a Maori name that nobody can say or understand the meaning of this name !!

The Kiwis eschewing bullshit and colour enhancement marketing and getting straight into sailing the new beast. They're serious ,the others should be concerned and SIR Ben may as well stay at home

None❤

I am an adopted kiwi, and im so unfussed by this launch and have no sympathy for the logistics in getting to Barcelona. NEW ZEALAND won the cup and NEW ZEALAND should be hosting, yes the cup is about money but it’s ridiculous that you’ve been taking state subsidies for years and then as soon as its convenient bugger off overseas for a ‘home’ regatta I hope anyone else wins

Please pronounce the re in Te retuhai as in Reference. Be much better!

Naturally ,the yacht "has" to have a maori name-no english allowed anymore-whats wrong with say kiwi flyer-who the hell knows what kaitoro means,The world knows NZers are called "kiwis"-great for tourism.Oh no maoris are now a special race and demand all new events must be maori eg womens rugby all maori names.

Please pronounce Te Rehutai correctly it's Te Re hu tai understand not the way you pronounce it. Kia Kaha

Again this Race is about the Best Computer Design Sailboat not won by the Captain and Sailers that win or Lose The American Cup. Again the Rich People screw up old traditions Sailing

Could’ve been a fascinating video but instead it was made boring by way too much talking. I’m interested in the mad engineering of these boats not watching some bloke blather on.
