He's back! I wish it was a bad dream, but it's not.
The abhorrently annoying Todd Harris

Port or Starboard entry: Which is better?

Is NZ foiling upwind?

He got back from the Tour De France (where he's actually not bad)

Whats worse is Jobson. That guy shouldn't be allowed near a microphone.

Its possible to foil upwind in these boats... all they need to do is trim the angle of the boards to pop her up, but the problem is that when you do that, you lose headway bigtime apparently.

I think you might see foiling upwind during racing to get out from under someone or some other tactical use but not as a normal mode of upwind sailing.

Artimes and Oracle.

I like John Navas videos, but I intentionally didn't post this video because I find his commentary more annoying than Todd Harris. I'd rather he go back to the loop drum beat audio track.

I watch an episode of "The Moment - 101 America's Cup Sailor" on my new Chromecast. Jobson doing a reality sailing show. Don't watch. Jobson at his worst. Acting and reality TV should not be in Jobson's quiver. FAIL

On second thought, watch it, for some comedy relief. . .

Here it is if you have nothing better to do with an hour of your life.

That might be worth watching to see if/how they would implement upwind foiling as a tactic... but you're right from what I've been able to read - you can foil, but at the expense of a lot of leeway uphill...

Yeah, I turn the volume down. He does get some good video though. Just a couple things in it that are good to see. Some good foiling gybes by US-17 and on the one upwind leg she starts to rise on the foil. Looking like the Cup will be a good match.

We go live at 1:00 PM PST. Race starts 1:15

I better not get blocked out on the east coast!

My live feed on the iPad doesn't seem to be working yet anyone else?

Feed hasn't started. You should see the countdown timer.

Open this in a second tab. Alot of great toggle switches as well as different vitual camera views.
