America's Cup - How Crews Handle Their AC75s
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 янв 2021
- The spectacle of an AC75 at speed in flight is breathtaking but to learn to fly these boats at speeds that have rarely been achieved has meant that teams have had to climb a near vertical learning curve. The technology is new, as is the concept and even the language that the crew use to communicate, so how do the crews handle an AC75? Matt Sheahan talks to foiling supremo, multiple world champion, former America's Cup sailor, Olympic gold medallist....you get the idea....Nathan Outteridge who has been studying these boats and the way that they are sailed since they were first launched here in Auckland. It's a fascinating insight, in fact so good that we have made the feature in two parts as we simply couldn't bear to leave any of it out. And anyway, you'll need a break to take on board some new concepts and fill up your glasses for the next part.

Nathan is such a down to earth and pleasant guy - good on you for letting us have the full interview
This is the interview I've been waiting for. Answers sooo many questions. This is essential viewing for anyone watching the AC75 racing game. Thank you for posting. Best wishes from Panama 🇵🇦
I didn’t notice any vehicle sound. Great interview, awesome editing.
This is a great interview if you're like me from a non foiling sailing world looking at this cyborg sailing with a sense of bewilderment. Fantastic.
Nathan should be in a boat!, but I do thoroughly enjoy his commentry. looking forward too part two.
Tom Slingsby as well
Would like to See that too... Although i think they might have exclusive contracts with SailGP keeping them from participating in the AC
Fascinating. One of the best things about following the Vendee Globe and the America's Cup is that we get some access to the thinking of very high quality people. Nathan Outteridge is no exception. My thanks to you both
Great insight from Nathan about the trend to source sailors from dinghy and skiff classes such as the Moth, Finn, and the 49er etc. When the America’s Cup was sailed in displacement designs, the skippers came from keel boats.
You're an idiot. Virtually all of the top displacements guys- Dennis, Couttsie, Spithill, Ted Turner, Eric Ridder, John Driscoll , Ted Hood, Iain Murray, etc. etc., were highly accomplished dinghy/skiff sailors in their youth. From this, I can therefore only assume that your profile pic is a photo shop of you on your couch watching 'The Bachelor' pasted onto some guy sailing his laser (or reasonable hand drawn facsimile).
This was really one of the better videos looking in depth. Thanks for making it!
Thank you 4 posting.
I'm Italian, and a supportive of Luna Rossa that was winning this year, the Prada Cup.
I'm excited to see how will be going against the Kiwi boat.
Nathan is a good man to have involved. Good insights and understands the game really well.
Good show. Really well put together
The Luna Rossa is actually a Jaeger. The 2 helmsman must be drift compatible.
Insane levels of insight. Just next level. Thank you for an excellent level of journalism.
Insane misuse of the word insane!
@@carlwilliams6977 well I needed an adjective that wouldn’t be bland, or - dare I say it - inane. 😂
@@timransby1774 how about... Extremely insightful! Not hyperbolic enough, I guess? What would you say if you actually thought his Insight was insane? This is why I have to laugh at the misuse of words that has become fashionable. A hypo:
Person. 1: Twitter blew up today!!
P2: Why? What did somebody say? Who was it?
P1 No....somebody actually blew up the Twitter offices!
Then there's the misuse of "literaly".
I could go on, but you'd probably think this Boomer was literally insane!😊
@@carlwilliams6977 it’s almost as if the language is evolving before our very ears.
@@timransby1774 Actually, devolving would be more accurate. Language evolved when it assigned specific meanings to specific words. As I demonstrated, we're headed in the other direction!
For someone that's not up to speed (no pun intended) on this type of sailing, I found this more enlightening then entertaining.
This is a fantastic sailing show. A sailing channel for sailors.
Awesome, thanks a lot for the insights! Looking forward to pt 2
Great interview, thanks! 😎
I look forward to pt. 2. Thanks for great work!!
Fascinating insight. Great interview Matt. Keep 'em comin'
Great insight from Nathan. Thanks for this
Great chat, thank you, definitely would love to have more of that with Nathan and Ken.
Terrific interview. Nathan is very articulate as well as knowledgeable. And I didn’t hear and road noise.
Thanks for this enlightening and superb insight.
Thanks for this interview and for part 2 as well. Great insights from Nathan. Hope to see him in the next cup!
Wow, i just love this channel and the host (and Nathan), what a gift, thank you!
Thanks Matt! Keeps getting better.
When is part two? can't wait. Absolutely the best content out there!
Really interesting, warm interview with a great fella
Brilliant stuff! - this insight is what I've been lacking to fully be amazed by the crews and flying beasts. You just got another subscriber! Thank you from Norway.
so good.. I learned heaps and received a better all round view.. thanks guys
Great stuff, keep it coming Matt 👍
Very intesting interview! THANK YOU
The thoughts about how to get into this level of sailing are wonderful: moths and "an optimist is a lot cheaper than a moth" for the basics.
Thank you for Part1 and am looking forward to Part2
'Finding the narrow groove' - love that phrase.
Great interview.
Enjoy the intelligent insight
I’m already looking at these boats differently... Excellent insights.
Very interesting, the best yet on the boats and teams, there's no substitute for Nathan's experience and history and the opportunity to consider away from the action. Looking forward to the next one, and others, if you can manage others along these lines.
Great production as usual!:)
"Love the commentary" Very interesting chat with Nathan!
Fabulous interview Matt.
You always do an interesting and well finished video. And this one was well on point for this stage of the cup. Very well done, thank you.
Excellent chat
So much fun to watch, two sailing-enthusiast chatting 🥰! And the short videos in between with theses crazy little foiling one-man-boats is just breathtaking and scary the same second 😱🤩💪👍!! Thanks for the effort you put into this! Greetings from Switzerland, just getting back from am week in the alps with 5 feet of snow everywhere around you 🤣😎!
Great insights! 🍓
having operated diggers. It's quite similar with little 1.5t diggers. They are fidgety, jittery and move around a lot. As the digger gets bigger, they actually become smoother and easier to operate because the are far more stable, even though they can do way more damage if used incorrectly.
Greag to hear your voice in the recent official AC video, hopefully they use you more, much clearer and entertaining than their usuals.
Amazing. Thank you !
These boats are amazing. 40knt+ on 11/12 knots winds. I'm looking at the speed boats trying to keep up. Just amazing.
Great insight thanks!
A great video!
Very good, many thanks.
Great interview.
Love the commentary! 👍🇬🇧
Great stuff!
Very interesting, thanks!
Excellent explainer by Nathan! I'm sharing with my non-sailor friends, too.
LOVE THE COMMENTARY ❤️
I like your videos, keep it up!
this was cool and interesting :)
Very happy interesting- thank you
Excellent.
Hopefully one day someone will make something like this for long-distance ocean racing. Gonna Bet someone is already thinking about it as well.
Good stuff.
This has developed into the BEST youtube channel for us who are not involved in AC sailing to keep up to speed with the new developments in the sport. I wonder if those "naysayers" have any understanding at all of the role something like this plays in .... progress... We are at the start of a whole new world of mono-hull sailing and they should NOT be trying to stifle it in order to stay in the past. The accomodating categories of sailing will remain for a very long time to come and they WILL continue to have their cake, but this type of coverage (and racing/development) can only increase the interest of more people in the sport as a whole. I'm afraid I am beginning to get a waft of (dare I say it) "elitism"
ready for part 2
I started in an Optimist. Then a Laser. Good boats to work out how sailing works.
thank you.
Awesome
Yes great stuff/////
Brilliant interview. 8 grinders, a foiling flight controller, a trimmer and helmsman. Who is the strategist?
Hi, there have been many videos explaining how these boats fly, but none explained how you can go upwind four times faster than the wind speed. Why doesn’t the apparent wind direction stop that?
Bro, Nate is the man
and for our Next video... "how not to handle their ac75s" by American magic.
Look fwd to Part 2
Agree with Tim, insightful even for a non sailor BUT Americas Cup enthuthiast. Sounds like Starting on moth sailboats is like beginning with go karts for Formula 1 hopefuls.
Dankie. Nice 2 C & 2 understand. Great Stuff! So this is the sportscar. Where R the family- car vision?
Great
hi guys, nice video, many thanks. I happen to have a skier's thumb injury on my left hand. This makes the wrist cock , the top of the back swing and the transition a b it tricky as the 2nd joint of my thumb is sensitive and suffers from a loss of power. Do you guys have any expeirence with Skier's thumbs?
Cool
Interesting what Ian say about your first learner boat....... not sure if that's right ...........do people who sailed a wind surfer as their first boat have a disadvantage ....it was a disadvantage for me getting on a windsurfer. If all i knew was foiling i bet i would have a whole different set of skills and then transitioning in to a lead mine would bring all sorts of different perspectives...... we will find out ....admittedly i don't hear of windsurfers champions transitioning into top positions on yachts but maybe there is??? cheers warren
ive seen changes since i started watching professional world sailing
I enjoyed these infos on how these teams are trained in a very specific way to produce a very choregraphed ballet, the only thing that i really hate is this image of these guys sitting in these narrow "corridors" winching or busy with the power pedals, it gives the impression that the old days of having galley slaves on the oars, here we are with these beautiful machines, very futuristic and flying over the water and yet this old image of galley slaves is so vivid each time you see the crew at work...i'm sure i'm not the only one who thought about it, so if someone has an idea please voice it out.
Why did the teams not stick with the peddle generator system. I think it was an ingenious NZ change in Bermuda?
Randall
The rules were changed to not allow them.
@@BrynHetrick The boats are an amazing state of forward-thinking, so fast and advanced. going back to the arm cranking is just holding onto tradition I believe. What a great sport, what can they do to top foils???
Randall
they banned it in the rules
Hi ! I think Grant wanted to revert to traditional grinders for this cup.
Great machines, great sailors - no doubt about that. But come on, only 4 teams can afford competing in the AC21 series! The air gets thin at the high end and a series with 12 teams would be way more inspiring. So please reshape the rules to a lower budget and open the door for more competition.
I really don't understand why the AC coverage doesn't have this kind of banter. Not just the superficial clipclap with Kenny boy.
With all due respect to Ken's sailing skills and racing experience, he doesn't really have a banter- friendly personality. Irrespective of that, Ken is still doing a pretty decent job IMO.
Because this interview is almost as long as an AC race. I think the commentators are doing a great job
Great video. Thanks for keeping it down to a level we morons can even grasp.
Why do some grinders use leg power and others arms? Doesn’t it make more sense to use legs?
Hopefully Nathan will be back in a boat next cup
I didn't know Robert Webb was a sailor, or an Aussie :)
So where is part 2?
Excellent video! The right questions to the right person to answer them. I just wish the team were not so secretive about their setups
Please, keep up the good work
A final note: who are the 24 sad idiots who disliked this video?
What is the mast in the back ground on the water at 13:14
Could someone tell me what is the white handle next to Ben Ainslie's wheel at 12'39" ? Thanks
Think its the rudder pitch control.
00:08:45 for the key roles
Nathan for SKIPPER on USA
Its a shame Nathan doesn't have a ride for this round of the cup. I suspect he's much less likely to choke than Dean Barker.

It looks like the grinding produces the hydrolic energy, badly needed to balance off, but how much do they rely on computer calculations and data? Or, there is no time for it....
yeppers, started in a P in 1959, Cherubs next and the Shearwater mk 1
now Luna Rossa should sign me PIERRE Fehlmann Whitbread skipper, always said, you must have sailed the dingy
Whitbread skipper always said you had to have sailed the dingy
Why is it so hard to find out more about the Referees boat? More about it's design and abilities
I'm pretty sure they're just standard Rayglass Protectors, most of the interesting tech will be back on shore in the umpire's room
