NYYC American Magic vs. Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli - Full Race 15/09/2024.

this is the race committee we have met the win limit and this race will start on schedule just what the doctor ordered and it is simply for American magic a must win day Steven MCA two-time gold medalist and the Olympics sh Robs a three-time America's Cup champion Clint Ashby and America's Cup tactician on the Water Peter ler a funny feeling today the nerves are starting to Bubble don't you think I think for this team particularly American magic they'll be really grateful it is a different day they're confident in more wind and an opportunity for a reset going to see some ripping speeds here on entry from both teams perfect conditions here for the AC 75s 2 minutes and 10 seconds they can't coming before that they are flying and cutting it close but they are perfect green light American Magic on Port Entry now waiting for the star entry from lunelli need to be too high here and they get the green light as well it is on Race three in this showdown 60 knots of wind in the in the race start area should be no trouble to stay on the foils in these Brey conditions lots of energy required spin the around and around this prart for the yes up see some wattage hereid American boat having to push hard making sure they keep the accumulator to up line we are going to attack up rolling up a bit Yeah y for is quite even although we have seen folks in the seab breze direction lighing that right hand side so maybe we'll see them in their Str to prot the right I'm for the roll on okay stop roll can get what do you think roll yeah you can try it Magic High of lunar R debating when to push [Music] final 30 seconds doing a nice job here holding the Americans [Music] about seven I'm five go go go twoing Good Start we are live and racing lunelli the New York club's American magic they're going at it very strong he's going to bail out early 10 me back from the line look at lunar Ros flying to the left hand side keep doing this this is good he's gone he's gone noral good anger so lunar in a high mode off line forcing Americans to attack away but they are sing in clear air so early advantage to the Italians let's going to chase zero Peter Lester thoughts on the start a really strong start by jimmmy SP and lunar Rosa Pari and that's given them that jump off the line the next cross will be crucial when uh American magic come back on Star but can they have a piece of the Italians or not come here we probably all I've got him a little ahead I think there good one on your bar here and here think wey to go we are be picking the moment for this crucial maneuver the pressure up the track one down also prbly just enough distance in front there to get their tack in American magic into the gas he's staying still nothing huge shiftwise here very stady nice mod he's a little bit above climb nicely off him here hey one over going to pick our best time from here nice free on our inside a little higher time if you want americ magic doing well there just to stay in that high the ac75 in these wind conditions much much flatter than the light air so bending the breeze less and affecting the boat behind less than they would do in lighter breeze so I hang a little easier in these [Music] nice St boys you can afford a fast field feels good get with that I flat he here FL magic smaller [Music] pushing not getting too low first upward Le this third meeting between American magic andun in the Louis cup semifinal the coast of Barcelona and Barcelona has turned on a treat of a day weatherwise and wind wise as Luna orosa BR steamed to the top gate and both boats just look beautiful in these conditions they are rocketing but it's Lun r at the top gate first and H for the first down leg oh big negative leway SK there from L nicely controlled in comes American magic early days these two races yesterday between these two boats were as close as you could ask for pressure nice right here yeah we're going this stand we're down here in three 2 1 go down the roar magic H looks like he's just taking it easy doesn't it I'm not complain about yesterday when we saw him he looked pretty comfortable looks like this the race he's just going for it those guys absolutely on the river down from here okay on the sh get G going to the Italians really nice sling and slight stretch go p g spot and probably come back no slower than this really ni left ey yeah happy to go I'm I'm Mighty here but I don't want to go all the way you know what I meane nice pressure to come here turn now we've just Gast any right and we take it let's go on board to chase zero with Peter Lester Peter looking down the course what are you thinking I just like the way Luna roster have just controlled they haven't made any even look like making any errors they've done a beautiful job good start and I think they've made a a real smart decision on their headle choice just being slightly more uh powered up than American magic but uh yeah that headle choice decision pre-art Amish wox who's the weather coach had a big input pre-art lot of discussion and uh it was the slightly bigger choice that heish recommended and that's what spittle and Roy have got are wearing at the moment Lun Ross are looking impressive I mean just choices so had to dig their way back from being behind for the first couple of laps yesterday and keeping the nose in front so always easier to lead if you can the Americans breathing down their necks okay I think we got left gate of round people yeah how do we feel about the one border guys Let's cross over your call I think we go one a strong downward leg first time for lard Rosa prelli American magic of glow close to get marginally but the Silver Bullet is flying right now they take the right hand markers you see it left hand for them and hit up on leg number three but not too far behind and come American magic they are the Chaser or you could say they are the [Music] hunter oh big foil ventilation there on the Wind get it back okay just go straight here a really big loss there American magic the can't not all the way down on American magic there and a big Windward foil ventilation so full loss of flow attachment on that foil which has just pushed them sideways then blowing up theid foil so not what they're after at this point in time Glenn how many times have you said it in this level of racing and the margins are so tight you cannot AFF that yeah it's all about sailing accurately particularly in these conditions and at this level and American team just not quite executing that maneuver as well as they would have hoped quite a fast but Loose rounding on the Italians but right on the edge of grip really nice Apex and uh keeping it Loose just having a look at Americans coming around here big H touchdown you watch both foils there completely blown flow and a regrip eventually there to get the on the wi but a massive l in performance there watch big slide here massive L of flow give it a shake get it back as you said Tommy think to give it a shake see the work of Lucas hanging on to the wheel he would have lost the rud there as well so all three appendages in the water with separated Flo look as calra of course a standing Helmsman regular p gooders injured from now on it's an open so you just pick your moment we have a little bit ofy here I think all the see the tip piercing there of the fight's going much quicker they foil quite a bit [Music] higher it's going go on Bo the chase boat for lunara pelli Philly but looks like a different boat today yeah it's a different boat but uh you know when you start ahead it's a really different race uh we saw that in the past and uh I think we we had a we had a couple of average start but uh I think now we hopefully we're back in the in the groove and uh more confident and the boat is flying now was much work done overnight ping W it was indeed all right thanks for that welcome ever a dull moment as a coach that's for sure during an America's Cup campaign all coaches def earning their money at this point of the uh the program that's for sure tell no secrets I think don't be shy on keeping it a little faster on your side forget about stand by anytime three 2 1 all the teams running a a 24hour program it's absolutely around around the clock particularly for the shore crew at this point in time the the focus really obviously goes onto the sailing teams from now on but the sh crew work behind the scenes absolutely running at 24-hour shift rolling clock performance good on target there nice oh higher Italians really locking in on their R there trying to fly the platform as close to the wave tops as they possibly can as accurately as I can once again the waves are not lining up with the bridge you see them coming in from the left hand side of the screen not making life easy pelli complete 50% of this race the third meeting between these two in the Louis withon Cup finals three more legs to go and a potential 3 n lead that is an absolute Beauty bear away absolute rabbit shot up the tail pipe there they are Off to the Races downwind here absolutely ripping American magic coming and they'll want to get around this Mark a lot cleaner than they did at the bottom of the course which has cost them this lead costly costly it will be one C American magic around the top gate they've completed half the course nice rounding last time here American magic so I'll be looking to stay in touch and try and Claw back open little bit distance here this is the race committee we are moving the windward gate lengthening the course to 1.85 nautical miles and Shifting the access to 202 good news linked of course lots of win let go chase to zero Peter conditions for you a that's perfect a little bit more than yesterday but you know what's interesting that touchdown at the bottom Mark cost uh American magic the best part of 15 seconds and just to put that in context that equates to about 15 boat lengths at these speeds and right now they're doing over 40 knots they're doing it about a boat length a second and once you get Beyond 10 boat lengths so much easier for the leading boat to def on board American magic 43 knots 44 to the Italians touching 45 soit Buton here blue flames out the exhaust for sure every time we looked at the relatives lunar Ross have just slightly better vmg also potentially they just more pressure but they could all just have the ability to sail a touch lower not get there it's no issue copy that copy Jimmy Big gains and losses for sailing the boat well in these conditions so sailing team's really making the difference here getting all the performance out of the design looks like I'm gaining on the lay line yeah you can take some angle down now if you want yeah no problem nice that's a nice I think we do for the two this time Andre Okay let's make sure to trim the out yeah great shot of Bruno roset hope he's hydrating in between races they're working hard particularly in the Maneuvers that wattage will almost double from what he's doing now okay doesn't look like he needs half a jacket on that's for sure luno Rosa proud about to complete League number four of six in this louison cup semifinal just listening to the coms on Lun Rosa you get that feeling the boys are back in business feels a bit like the round robin Series where they were almost unbeatable textbook rounding there by lunar Ross beautiful Apex at that bottom Mark nice and smooth and back up to Max Speed there American magic coming into the rounding it's something just under 45 knots they've got to get around because they're hanging in there Patriots but that one mistake that one mistake at the end of leg two yeah 25 this way is at 195 good left trying to sneak up here nice smooth rounding there American team bad pressure standby put down here in 3 2 1 turning the Press on here Lucas eight under time to go on the American magic chase boat and a new face new voice Terry Hinson head of sailing for American magic Terry he to out one mistake could be so costly at this stage yeah I mean that's a uh you that's probably a time in the boat thing as much as anything you know the timing of that board drop when you're ripping in there is uh pretty critical and uh they got they got a little bit stuck in no man's land with the uh time of the jve board up board down so you know we're uh we're hanging in there though uh we're probably one one mistake behind um you seem to be going going quite going quite well down which is nice to see the moment this will be a boundary T Terry it's surely here I mean we're listening to the onboard comms it's quiet on American magic are you you worried about the boys no not at all I mean I think they're um you know they're sailing cool and collected a little bit of ice water in their veins and so you know they got to just keep chipping it's not a um this is not a time for any accelerated tone or anything it's Sabo racing and lunar Ros is sailing a good race and so we got to just keep hanging strong and keep trusting the process I suppose him anyway just every start a new opportunity Terry that's right absolutely best in the business doing that very measured the head of siging operations of course we well remember from ac36 in Oakland probably open course in 15 or 20 super extremely experienced campaigner Terry Hutchinson seen the movie many times before and absolutely lives and Breeze yting and the America's C and great to hear from him he said it right he said something that's quite valid with the America's Cup it's a it's a one it's a one mistake race that's it but my gosh and you are only one Split Second away from a mistake at this level and sailing on with these boats good there press a bit softer up here now both these teams making it little easy to get these boats around the track but I can categorically guarantee it is not easy pressure on the right side is looking better after the mark that's perfect good for us do their jobs well going to go there way around so [Music] good perceptions are crazy thing is that they look so close but they are not Luna Rosa FR pelli about to complete the final in this third meeting between these two teams in the Louis won cup semifinals an ominous performance from lunar Rosa Prada [Music] pelli see today how much flatter the Sails are in these slightly windier conditions both up wind and downwind and bear away so clean New York y clubs American magic they've hung in there it might have been closer B one i' have to come back to B one mistake it could be a lot closer they don't want to hear that that's what it is homeward bound they are choer puff here 2 you5 bound quite get to open Force the drive train and the hydraulic systems on board American magic 18s the working hard but hydraulic vales manifold design [Laughter] [Music] 40 functions all being used at once in these Maneuvers on board both Yachts so underneath the bond of both these boats I think uh general public and even the general Sailing Community would be absolutely blown away at what is underneath the Bonnets of these boats and credit to the designers and Engineers to be on the absolute Cutting Edge of Technology showcasing what the sport can do the first time ever in the cup some of those functions can be linked it is very limited isn't it but they can be all joined together how does that work then that was a live shot of a happy Luna Rossa support crew they big supporters around the place yeah sh getting back to these functions you can regenerate a lot of the oil from one function to another with all the boats as part of the rules now so we've seen a reduction in the Cy BS in ac37 as the Italians look [Applause] on all having a lovely day Italian fever is uh definely building there and everyone having a a nice time watching the racing they are jammed in the fan Zone today the Luna orosa fans and why wouldn't they be look at the performance that Luna Rosa pra pelli has put on today in their opening Showdown against American magic it looks like a completely different boat from yesterday you'd almost say the performance by lunar in their third Showdown with American magic has been imperious because they have shut the door on American magic in this race they go out to a 3n lead and a step closer a big step closer to the Louis vuon Cup Final and that's a reason to [Applause] celebrate sucking in some big ones getting a bit of air flow over the radio through this Gap here and in comes American Magic oh What Might Have Been they 0 and three and the pressure just went up to another big [Music] Gear Up on sort of V's line inside those [Music] Spectators confirmation of this race result the third race between Lun rosaa perley and the New York y club's American magic a 26 second win to the Italians what does that mean everything if you're a part of the Luna Rossa support crew you are now perfect it feels like the round Robins again in the early stages they are three and0
