Here’s Reuters’ get on that first race:
BARCELONA, Oct 13 (Reuters) – New Zealand won the third America’s Cup race agetst Britain on Sunday to get a 3-0 direct in the first-to-seven series, after a cforfeit collision between the two before the commence.
Ben Ainslie’s British team were penalised after fall shorting to protect evident in response to an antagonistic shut-quarters manoeuvre by Peter Burling’s New Zealand crew in the pre-commence.
“It was a little bit unsootheable .. with how shut the boats got,” Burling shelp chuckleing on the America’s Cup inhabit widecast instantly after the end of the race off Barcelona.
Burling shelp the New Zealand team had been “toiling on little bits and pieces” in preparing to get the America’s Cup agetst Britain, which won the right to dispute them.
The 33-year-elderly Kiwi skipper shelp it was “fantastic to finpartner perestablish it in a race … and to originate it count”.
Britain had to drop 75 metres behind the Kiwis after traverseing the line to shake off the penalty, handing the America’s Cup helderlyers an punctual get.
“It was evidently a port-starboard and we thought we were protecting evident but the umpires didn’t see it that way,” Ainslie shelp of the decision to impose a penalty on the British, who were the donate-way boat under the rules of racing in sailing.
Despite coming shut to clearaking during an punctual tacking duel, the British were unable to get past and the New Zealanders sailed away from them for a convincing prosper at the finish.
So, with the prosperd dropping, there’s no more racing today. It’s 3-0 to New Zealand. Perhaps that helps the Ineos team; they can go back to the draprosperg board. And maybe hope for a better commence than almost crashing into their opponent.
New Zealand eunite in administer, and are uncovering up a gap of over 100m. The prosperd is helping them alengthened, as it’s coming to them first ahead of the British team. Their speed is fantasticer, too as the Brits have to debate the bleaky air. New Zealand get the first leg, with 24 seconds in it.
It eunites the TV choosed to show the uncovering race from Saturday.
Hang on….the prosperd drops and that’s that
Racing has been abandoned for the day….
Ok, the prosperd situation is that we go aget in eight minutes.
The race will commence at 15.23 – that’s ten minutes more. The reduce prosperd confine has been passed. So we paengage for it to pick back up.
Make that another scant minutes. They are paengageing on the prosperd. It has dropped. We’re blow the knots needd for a race. Meanwhile, the boats/foils throb.
The next race is in around five minutes. The sea state the same as before, and the prosperd is dropping. The boats are circling each other.
Jeremy Boyce gets in touch: “As I was talking with Dom yesterday, I’m enhappinessing the racing, but with reservations. It’s Sailing Jim/John, but not as we comprehend it. This is Foiling, a toloftyy separateent concept. If the actual hull of the actual boat is in actual reach out with the actual water, actupartner that’s probably going to cost you the race. What they do is hugely astonishive, as it should be donaten the allotment needd, but even Ainslie shelp it, it is very much a push-button and timing sport nowadays. You don’t see hands on deck heaving ropes and dodging the boom, much less on-the-fly to stability the boat. All that is administerled by the on-board tech, plus the in-race tech-aid back in Bweightlessy. I’m certain the crew toil super difficult, they all watch well fit, but you only ever see them in their cockpits helmeted-up. I’m an elderly skule benevolent of person (vinyl music, genuine books, originate beer, sturdy lace-ups and wise brogues…) and I’d be much more inclined to sign up for inhabit TV coverage if the boats were actupartner sailing on the water, with actual sails, hoisted by actual people using actual ropes, teamtoil, and timing, dodging the actual boom. Mark my words, it will all come back. As the Americans say “What goes around, comes around”.”
Agetst Modern Sailing. #ams
Team Ineos have 30 minutes or so to turn this around. The recriminations from that cforfeit-crash will equitable have to paengage.
The race penalty of 75m was so costly. “Keep plugging, guys, lengthened way to go with this,” says Ben Ainslie. New Zealand only need four more prospers.
Peter Burling, Kiwi captain. “It was unsootheable how shut the boats got….it was fantastic to originate it count.”
Ben Ainslie aget: “A hard call. It felt we were protecting evident but the umpires didn’t see it that way. We shall have a watch at the conditions.”
He then swats away the Kiwi commentator who recommends the New Zealand boat might be better to the Ineos. The commentator demures.
New Zealand get the third leg, and direct 3-0
Plain-sailing for New Zealand. “A genuine kind breeze” is heard from their crew. It’s been theirs from the commence. The direct is 600m, almost unassailable. The Brits have been beaten by a more antagonistic, more administerd team. They’re going much cataloglesser, too. They almost idle to the finish line. Job done. That’s 3-0.
The Ineos Britannia turns and originates its way for the final two legs. A immense margin to originate up. Rob Wilson, GB coach on that penalty. “We’re equitable hanging in there, they’re sailing spotlessly.” That cforfeit-clash of foils at the commence could have ruined the day as a whole. The NZ boat seems to be able to speed away from its tacks. A feat of engineering beyond Big Sir Jim’s men, it seems. The final leg is cut down to 1.2 nautical miles as the Kiwi team turns for home at the end of leg five.
All smiles in the Kiwi camp. What can Britannia originate? Clipped conversation between their co-helm. The direct is 450m or so. Huge. They’ve deal withd this well. Perhaps only the prosperd dropping can stop them. They approach the bottom gate to certain thcdisadmireful with a evident direct after leg four.
Into the third leg, and Ineos Britannia is going speedyer. The problem is the bleaky air coming off their opponents. Ben Ainslie is mute. Too mute? That commence has hobbled the Britannia. He was steering when it happened. New Zealand are staying well away, out of danger, in brimming administer they direct coming out of leg three.
The crowd is huge in Barcelona, lots of Union Jacks but the Kiwis’ boat is lengthening its direct. The race promisetee lowen the course as the conditions relieve. The New Zealand team are pedalling for their inhabits. They have the hugeger gybe, and that’s helping them alengthened. They get a evident direct after the second leg, a very huge direct. It’s theirs to leave out already.
Away we go!
New Zealand set off at a rapider rate of knots, GB drop those 75m behind to evident the penalty, and that’s a excellent recovery as they donate chase. The gap is down to 54m. “Stand by,” says Dylan Fletcher as they seek a chance to pass. The New Zealand team tack left, and that cataloglesss the British. They drop to 100m down, then 130m down. This is only the first leg after which New Zealand direct.
Britain commence with a 75m penalty
So, both teams are primed and ready, started into the bay, ready to commence tacking. They cforfeitly crash into each other ahead of the commence. The Brits gets a 75m penalty from the commence. Whoops.
The race is due in equitable a couple of minutes, excellent to go. What can Britannia do?
And more from Stephen: “A friend skippering boat for tourists says conditions very separateent from yesterday, sea much more choppy.”
The talk from the British team is of a battery problem ahead of racing. The sea is shelp to be flatter, and they are anticipateing to get the first race underway. The second could be a victim of a drop in conditions. A “weightless-air battle”.
Stephen Badvisen is our man on the ground in Barcelona: “While we’re paengageing: Not everyone is encountered about the America´s Cup being staged here. Two hours before racing began, thousands of people – 10,000 according to the organisers – uniteed a protest organised by the “No to the America’s Cup” campaign. The campaign is also transporting a case to the anti-deception office claiming that the organisers have made deceptive and grossly infprocrastinateedd claims about the economic advantages to the city of structureing the event.”
So how does it toil?
Teams must first vie in a series of regattas, culminating in the Louis Vuitton Cup, which resettles the main event’s disputer. This year’s suitup will see Team New Zealand as the geter get on Ineos Britannia after the Britons won the right to dispute New Zealand by beating Italy’s Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli sootheably in the resettled race. The current establishat features a best of 13 series; the first to prosper seven races gets home the Cup. This year’s edition commences with the first two races on 12 October. After that, the third and fourth races are set for 13 October. Subsequent races will occur on 16 October for the fifth and sixth races and on 18 October for the seventh. If essential, the eighth race will be held on 18 October, the ninth and 10th on 19 October, the 11th and 12th on 20 October. The final race, if needd, will get place on 21 October.
