A very interesting visit to the BMW Oracle Racing base this afternoon, to hear the skipper, tactician and navigator explain various aspects of the American campaign for the 33rd America’s Cup.
John Kostecki, tactician for BMW Oracle in the 33rd America’s Cup, talked about the potential advantages of the wing rig – acceleration, manoeuvrability – in the match against Alinghi’s catamaran. And James Spithill looked at the advantages of trimarans v catamarans.
I posted some videos here:
