Louis Vuitton Preliminary Regatta | Race 11 Recap

race number 11 lunar Rosa PR pelli Enos britania lunar Rosa PR pelli look like their time or distance is bang on steaming in at around 35 knots and then they come out of the start box not too far away here comes Enos brania allowed to enter it 2 minutes they'll be a little bit behind that but up now now killing 122 the object of the game here put your opponent on the back foot off the start line a minute this is the early entry penalty gbr early entry penalty gbr that is a big penalty there for the British they must have entered the entry Zone early they will have a penalty but they will be trying to wash that penalty off as quick as they can hearing from umire Richard Slater there disaster for anyos comme of those to is fine I think what's coming on hey we are 9 to kill ready for a little we are inside the last 30 seconds to the start of race [Music] 11 entering [Music] early 8 7 6 5 working up 4 3 two one we are a go in race 11 Lun Rosa L here going Low's try to his penalty with a low mode okay so keep the speed here thinking on the next St is going to be our game the British with a penalty for entering early they have to lose basically 75 me relative to lelli here this is the umpires gbr boundary penalty gbr boundary penalty a couple of unforced there for the British you got a that's good got 10 seconds to burn itat here no you haven't penal clear penalty clear Smash It smash It smash it oh just over the entry line there early by the smallest of margins there the British pushing super hard you just don't need to quite push that hard on Entry so a bit of an unforce era there they'll be disappointed with that followed up by a boundary penalty so you're not going to win races with those unforced eras unfortunately nice numbers guys having a look at their second penalty from the British here Shirley and as the boat's coming into the boundary there and again just pushing it hard and K's just over and I mean it's uh it's like tennis so the ball's either in or out and um you know they've been out both times so double fault Lun Rosa PR pelli heading into the top Mark for the first time they will take the right hand Mark as you see it and hit down on leg number two in race 11 of the Louis Vuitton preliminary reg here off the coast of Barcelona we got to follow him huh follow [Applause] them pretty much following on a direct path of the trail of lunar Ros 100 we've seen a bit of a change in the wind a bit of a a left shift and it has got a bit lighter and we're expecting a big swing round to the left hand side later on this evening so maybe it's the start of that window I will focus on performance Jim wor that was a good call byan I mean really just not worrying so much about the opposition but getting the maximum out of of these laps okay let's stay stay C pressure for now yeah really nice let down nice gain back here is puling a lot okay guys job so match boys quite a big Lefty idas have done really well on this run they've taken 50 m out of the Italians a little late L boys Lun R pelli down to the bottom gate for the first time they head up through the top to start thinking about that halfway mark and they go around confidently given that bonus double penalties for anyos brania but one at the start then the boundary but they're chasing and they will chase hard we've seen already they've got a good boat speed can they close down coming up now lunar Rosa boys good slight gain it would if you look at those met between the two boats by inos brania on this up leg slight G you just you can see it I think it's got lighter at that top end of the course conditions are definitely changing and becoming more and more unstable I just wonder whether that plays into the the the window of inos bran and how it performs in different air only 8 to n knots of Breeze now at the top end of the course Steven so definitely we're seeing a drop in pressure so going to be interesting this next lap or two Luna Rossa PR pelli leading Enos brania into the top gate to complete the halfway mark of race number 11 in the Louis Von preliminary where we got here on the Mediterranean of the coast of Barcelona reason to go here [Music] [Music] ouch that breeze is is dropping and um seeing some still good performance of inos brania downwind here so it's you know you're only again one wobbly maneuver away from a pass so really interesting to see the vmg on both boats there just a little better to inos brania in General on the downwind so to see how they go towards the bottom both teams would have made their Sal selection based on 12 to 14 kns be so pre-art yeah how much of an effect is that to be on on the smaller jib and having to search for Power definitely hard exiting the Maneuvers with smaller jibs on for sure in the lighter air and in a straight line you're still trying to get the power out but it's exiting the Maneuvers it just is so difficult when you get to the very very bottom range of both the main sail and the jibs so you can see there the power of that twin skin main sell huge mass rotation and Camber in that main sale now and even the smaller jibs really really deep so very very minimal Cunningham very very St sections to really generate that horsepower out of the rig even just watching that massive amount of adjustments as you say to the mass to The Traveler there's a lot going on as the winds Dro now showing a little bit of G on our side on the left side round l pelli in the Louis Vuitton preliminary Reta will come across the line and Bank win number three and give them three points to equal Emirates Team New Zealand who are up next against aling Red Bull Racing but they'll be feeling good about that are they heading towards the final of the prelim regetta confirmation now of 11 and the Louis Vuitton preliminary Riata luno Rosa pra pelli get the win win number three is by 46 Seconds of inos brania
