- The long awaited clash of the AC75s delivered way more than most expected. From tacking duels, penalties, wheelies, a near capsize, close calls and close action, the three days of the Prada America's Cup World Series delivered an intense snapshot of what we can expect over the next three months on the road to the America's Cup. It also delivered a shocker to one team. Still, the America's Cup wouldn't be what it is without a few dramas. Matt Sheahan reports from Auckland where he is finally free from captivity and roaming Auckland's Viaduct Basin!! He starts by going back to another period in the Cup when extreme machines were the order of the day.
Congrats to the home team. I'll be watching the AC next month. Good sailing on incredible boats!
Wow! The AC yachts are so elegant now. The Prada one especially. They all look so ethereal.
Loved this update! Thank you and Merry Christmas!!
These boats are engineering marvels. Nice racing, Well done gentleman
Kinda makes you wonder who would win if they were to use identical boat with identical rigging with skill, talent and luck as the only determining factors.
Very well done. It told the story as if I were there.
Great edit of what must have been mountains of footage. Impressive work.
Are you in NZ? Welcome, hope you enjoy your stay in COVID free summer with some great sailing ahead.
Matt Sheahan, I like you videos. My favorite one started out, "I have been wearing a lot of rubber lately and my wife knows about it." I liked that video so much I bought one of those boats, the VX one design.
My favorite thing ,sail racing ,man against man ,no beating of animals craftsmanship and skill ,science,team sport ,curiosity
I'm a Kiwi living in the UK and not many people know the AC is happening. Sad 😥
Those that do know said it was boring...!? Again obviously not actually watching it.
As a Brit who loves sailing, I just don’t find the America’s cup interesting to watch and I know a lot of people with the same view. Don’t get me wrong, it is spectacular watching the boats fly around and I have watched the recent racing. But in all honesty, I would rather watch/do something else entirely. But if there is a J-class regatta I will watch every single race!
@@ehall9149 horses for courses, I get what you are saying. I think though the AC has made efforts to be entertaining to the television and therefore the armchair audience if they would give it a try. J class 👌
Good job, well done summary, PlanetSail!
You can't have a Formula 1 car race if you don't know if the fuel will arrive.
You can't have a foiling boat race if you don't know if the wind will arrive.
Time to go back to yachts that can sail in any wind conditions.
I'm trying to like this high tech "flying" stuff but i just can't do it. Bring back an actual sailing vessel where the hull is in the water, not these weird stick insects hopping from foot to foot trying not to get wet.
These boats still sail in displacement.
The old yachts go slow under any wind range
Wow, I remember seeing KZ1 on tour in the US when I was a kid... Awesome. I had no idea it was on display at a museum in NZ.
It would have been cool to see a fleet race.
For sure, shame I bet it's far to dangerous to even be on the cards 🔥
Well done! Loved the presentation and the fact the combatants are so close... Keep up the great work!!
Been waiting for this! Nice video
Ain't this a long way from Ben Lexcen's winged keel on Australia II back in 1983. These new "Devil wears Prada" yachts are flying machines.Great news update. Thanks!
While I marvel at the science and technology, these vessels spend more time out of the water than in...does that make them aquaplanes?
And thanks for remembering our great naval architect designer Ben.
Pretty good start for our team New Zealand let's hope for the upcoming races we have good wind conditions to make some exciting racing... Good luck to all the teams.
Thank You, Planet Sail!
Thank you. Nicely presented.
I used to love the on water camera shots of the AC boats slugging it out bow to bow during a 2 1/2 hour race. Now the only time you see the two boats in the same camera frame during a 17 minute long race is from a drone camera 3,000 feet above the course
Thank you for this, I sort of puzzled it all together, your summary made it all clear!
Someone quite correctly said that there is still a place for conventional monohull, keel boat racing - but thats not the America's Cup! Go Kiwis!
Спасибо за репортаж , по освещению событий ! Англичане не учли смещения центра тяжести , при установке прилива вдоль киля ,ниже ватерлинии ? Поэтому и кувыркается ?
KZ1 was, no, is, amazing.
What a pity that the US didn’t embrace the design challenge and produce a similar boat. It would have been really spectacular for the cup, to have two boats at the maximum size the rules permitted. KZ1 was the largest yacht in 50 years I believe.
nice work! Merry Xmas
Nice work Matt, welcome to AOTEAROA, and the City Of Sales, Auckland. Happy Christmas from a very excited Kiwi, can't wait until March 2021, go Team NZ !
How can you call it the city of sails when there's no wind for boats to sail in smh
And it’s merry Christmas.
The designers of the clipper ships would have loved to see this day.
At least the clipper ships were actually sailing ! and not flying on foil wings... i just do not get how we can consider this the same sport ? yes it looks fun and fast but is it the sailing as we know it... for me its a no.. no hull touching the water only fins is not sailing.....L.A Rob
@@intsccents I feel for you but I still think it is awesome. I used to make small sailboats ⛵ and I knew how to draw clipper ships. I think that those ship makers would have loved to see these vessels. I think they're great! 😁 Someone is going to have to sail around the world in one of those.
@@JungleJargon I do not think they are capable ! they are not supper stable and could not make a crossing and on top of it due to the foils and they way they work on these yachts it would require a big crew and these boats do not have any crew quarters. .L.A Rob
@@JungleJargon Impossible to do, simple drop of wind, and they're stranded, as we saw here.
@@intsccents Right, it could be unless they made another version. It would have to be some kind of fixed keel and a smaller crew.
Excellent coverage- thanks!
Very nice to see, beautiful ships, incredible action. I only miss “real time “ speed indicators, to put some real figures to these races
Yeah me too. I had both the live and VE streams open at once in the end.
Great coverage. Cheers.
Great review, thankyou!
In the early 1980’s, I sailed on a Hobie cat. It was faster than those pathetic America’s cup boats which were monohull at the time. It’s nice to see them using the latest technology.
Amazing, fast racing, congrats new Zealand on America's Cup win. mobeleash
What do you think Ineos can actually achieve in four weeks to close that gap?? Looks like they need to shed a ton of weight, or improve their foil lift at low speed by half, or something else, what are they missing??
You mean literally a ton.
I've literally witnessed the impossible happen many times throughout the years of watching the AC.
I wouldn't count it out from happening in this one.
Seems they achieved a fair bit! Or they were sandbagging!
Yachting at speed , yeah !
emirates wow woman rights human rights ! the greatest sponsor and we all close our eyes ! bravo !
And Ineos gas company destroying our planet. Let's all celebrate!
@Seawolf Owned and operated by the State.
Great summary
Hard to believe they didn't have provision for a too light, or too heavy, day with no racing.
No real surprise that the Kiwis looked strongest, hard to bet against them at this point. However, the boats are still developing so it could become more interesting.
It was within the wind limits at the start.
@@Secretlyanothername Apparently.
Yeah, the only place the Kiwis are last is in PR whenever Burling is on the mic... He might be a great sailor, but he's a robot, a boring one at that, when interviewed. Yep, go ahead and hate on me;).
I have to say, I am really surprised with how aggressive Barker is and how good his starts have been as Spithill and Outteridge used to pretty much own him in previous years.
@@AntiVaganza I'm enjoying seeing Barker do well. The situation with Team NZ never sat well with me.
@@kwerk2011 that was his own undoing in the end.
ETNZ could have handled it better behind closed doors but ultimately Barker decided not to take the offer and stay.
Good analisi
Yes, so can someone push this question to the teams? Boats can start to fly between 18 and 20 knots. But thats using half of the lift surfaces available. Please anwser, WHY cant they lower the second arm at sub 18 knots and use the flaps to lift the hull out of the water. If not flaps than the rudder correcting the AOA. Do they have enough response from the active surfaces in order to pull of that kind of manuver ? Please help me :)
AMAZING
Nice!
how have Ineos gotten it so wrong ?.
I’m by no means a Ben Basher ! and I am imagining Jim Ratcliffes infinite budget for success and this boat and team, so what’s going on ? and what’s your take on it Matt ?
Geil kein Corona in Neuseeland,keine Mundlappen kein Abstand,weiter so
4:09 Nope, the Kiwis took a penalty there!
False
Some serious tweaking ahead for Ineos: or a complete re-build!! Can’t believe she’s so off the pace. Must be gutting for the team.
Ben Ainslie is at his most dangerous when against the ropes, I believe they will be competitive........
it's mostly a foil issue which is a manageable fix, not like the whole boat is a dog
Hope so , however Pete Burling on hell of a sailor, so's Ben Ainslie...should be good racing.....
www.stuff.co.nz/sport/americas-cup/300192163/americas-cup-italian-sail-experts-suggest-fix-to-ailing-british-yacht
I don't get why they needed to declare their foils 5 days before racing.
no reason to export these videos in 24 fps, 30->24 conversion destroys panning shots and causes lots of stutter in action scenes.
Team Brexit really struggling!
Hey Sir Ben : It's a lot harder to win when American TV isn't paying the other boat to lose, isn't it ?
The must have started paying the competitors again then because they are currently 4-0 in the Prada cup
And there was me thinking Ben Ainslie was pretty much unbeatable 😏
Get me back to New Zealand ASAP I'm dead in the water in Australia time to make an exception
gj everyone!
nice
What will happen with the Prada Cup?
Why bother with boats that basically can't sail unless they are up on the foils? Go back to the actual sail boats with spinnakers, with heavy weather sails, light weather sails, tacking battles, skills of experience!!!
They have not had spinnakers in the AC for almost 20 years I think you are a bit out of touch
@@rustyone7299 I grew up with sail boats and spinnakers...I also just watched a 2007 AC race...with Spinnakers. Knowing when to set the pole, get the spinnaker up, the job down takes experience. They have sacrificed skill and experience for speed and have lost lots.
A lot of people have this feeling, but the America's Cup has never been about traditional sailing races. The deed of gift states that the holder determines the rules for the challenge. That ensured that the Cup was always going to be more about pushing technological advances than adhering to a standard, traditional race setup. We can go back over 30 years and look at Australia II's winged keel. It's always been about inventing new things, and finding an edge. It's Formula 1 vs track day. Yes, they may not race in a lack of breeze, but they'll do 50 knots in a 15 knot breeze.
@@barbaralucero2772 Do you think that sailing a boat that is basically flying and can travel at 50+ knots doesn't take any skill and/or experience? Or trimming and setting the foils and sails for the wind and coordinating it all properly to make a tack? I'm sure the crews of world-class athletes and skippers have nothing to do with it.
@@connorjohnson4402 lol. When you miscalculated at any speed in a boat it can be deadly. Ask a pilot. My gripe is these "boats" are more like airplanes than sail boats. I grew up with actual sailboats, and a catamaran and of them all, the catamaran was quickest and most dangerous. BUT, they were sailboats, patterned after history...not an airplane. This is personal preference...I would rather watch a sailboat under full sail, with spinnakers full that these "boats". A skipper that has been sailing for 25 years, in all types of wind, all types of sea, to me, is more interesting and has more historic value! Remember where the America's Cup originated from!!
5:25 a wheelie? What wheels
the more i watch this the more i think is this really sailing ? its foiling, and should be classified as such , it would be the same for surfboards with foils we do not just call them surfing we call it foiling.. its similar but not the same for both sports....L.A Rob
Team UK were an absolute embarrassment. We used to be a nation of seamen. Not now.
world series americas cup, christmas cup, actual americas cup next year. this is all very confusing.
Maybe whoever wins the Cup will choose Finns for the next one!
DolFINNS???
New Zealand is covid free, we were lucky to have real LockDowns because of real leadership.
Just because no cases detected. That doesn't free of the virus.
Not every person in NZ has been tested.
@Seawolf nobody suggested testing had stopped.
Great coverage! Extremely disappointed in the crowd though, with not a mask in sight. And people wonder why California is in such rough shape.
I mean, great racing from both teams, as per usual. But I think, the pace they're at, and considering how they're on foils, this cannot be sailing. Take it back to when the cup wasn't Americas, and was just some generic race based in the UK. America ended up winning in a small schooner, and their sailing skills. Another way to tell, is that the race had to be abandoned due to a drop in wind, something quite rare with the yachts of old. The older boats were much more exciting in my opinion, and had the very skills that sailors had used for hundreds of years.
Where are the masks ?
not necessary in NZ at the moment
mc do great food ! equality in the world ! merged with the image of new zealend ! bravo !
The boats are technological marvels but the racing sucks.
Is anyone else bored by this whole shebang? Give me the Vondee, the Ocean Race or any other actual sailing event. Heck, 420s or Lasers beat this for skill and entertainmemt.
I don't often watch videos that I find boring, but when I do, I complain about it.
Monohull? No, hydrofoil.
Here's what happened - the boats that are the pinnacle of technological development that cost 100's of millions of dollars to make were left sitting dead in the water as Ma nature decided not to play ball with the strong wind requirement, giving everyone a nice calm day instead - which made for utterly boring viewing watching the boats do, well, nothing much at all, leading to race being abandoned. Seriously? All that development and not one person though about low wind conditions???
Impressive boats but when all said and done it’s just a dick measuring game between countries... and a colossal waste of money.
Ted Turner
Grant, Ben and me disliked this video 😭😂😂
holy mother of jerky B-roll, especially with those pan's of KZ-1
Please do better with your encoding and framerates on youtube.
3 thumbs down 🔻 for the Brits
Please don't upload 24 fps videos!
60 frames per second is required.
The days of crappy framerates are long gone. Please get with the times!
The bare MINIMUM is 1080p60, and anything less than this is low quality, and obviously so. It seriously detracts from watching, when the quality is less than half what it should be. All your panning and moving shots are horribly jerky.
All those Sirs and Lords and political correctness didn't do the Brits too well, did it?
Yes, it did.
I can’t watch this we are just useless. Always the same.
All the millions spent and the British boat stinks
American Magic should get Donald Trump on their team.. The result, they have already Won...
With Rudi hanging his arse over the back and providing some jet propulsion.
@@flamingfrancis Wonder if he knows any good lawyers...
Pls less talkin and more sailing footage. Thx
Do people know that we're in a world wide pandemic? How about some masks and distancing?
Were you not paying attention? Racing in New Zealand which is one of few countries which have the pandemic under relatively close control.
Even sports held in countries under lockdown go through weeks of quarantine and maintain separation from public and therefore do not require masks. How do you not understand how this works yet?
Don’t give a s... about anything AC anymore after it all went away from normal mono hull boats. High end money and boats is becoming extremely boring. Sorry to sound like this but as we all know? AC boats were always supposed to represent boats that can be purchased by regular people
Wrong. AC racing was always a rich men sport. You live in a lulu land.
Wrong Les. I guess I didn’t write it properly. Big gigantic difference between boats that any hard working person can afford and sail compared to what we see today! Lala land? Grow up
I doubt many ordinary people could have afforded a J-Class in the 1930s...
AC boats were never, ever intended to represent boats that can be purchased by regular people.
Please forgive me if I’m wrong? Years ago, I remember reading an article that was saying they only used boats for the America’s Cup that could also be built/purchased by regular people if they had the resources to do so? This was my intention for my comment. I absolutely understand that a very high percentage of the population cannot afford these high caliber boats, including myself! I personally know two sailors who raced for Canada in America’s cup events and they both confirm to me that the purist part of racing sailboats is long long long gone. The boats that are racing today are not boats that anyone can actually use in the real world? Guess I’m getting old. Merry Christmas everyone 🎄
i hate those "ships"..that's not sailing..
Mankind might not have gone to the Moon if it wasn't for the Wright Bros and other "aviators" of that time and you'd still be using an abacus or slide rule instead of a computer.
@@flamingfrancis that's not sailing in the same way that space Travel is not the same as flying. Still don't like em
@@shoesmercant Ice-sailing is also nothing else but sailing - and there you don't even have a boatin the firs place ;) This is defiunitely 100% sailing, if you like it or not ;)
@@florianN132 is as much of a sailing such as a transvestite is a real woman ..
To me it's real sailing. It took humans thousands of years to finally master wind. It is also real excitement and this sport will never be bigger. Go watch your old low resolution, grainy footage of archaic boats that had little advancement in concept. Everyone profits here.
whoever edited this should be sacked.
These just aren't yachts -- more like mega surfboards. This racing has lost all appeal.
Viewership is high and growing due to the new tech. There are lots of sailing races. This is top performance like Formula 1 racing. Yet, dinosaurs still exist that say those cars aren't real cars, even though they have been around for over 50 years.
