#AmericasCup #AC37 #Barcelona2024
so you release a video in Jan 2024, without stating the year of the race, of a race in fact held in 2014 in SF from an account titled "...Barcelona". If you're trying to expand interest in the sport by appealing to those of us who don't know the 34th from 37th race, you are doing a pretty lousy job. You need to improve your communication strategy.
Speaking of communication the date on the video clearly said 2013. 4:01 09/18/‘13. I think we should complain about how Americans don’t know how to write the date! 😂
Oh snap, we meaning USA need to Captain better also. Barcelona is going to be off the chain.@@teeanahera8949
@@teeanahera8949none of the descriptions of the video indicate the date. Not in the title. Not in the description, even. So if someone doesn’t know the AC number count matching to year, they had to watch an implied new event to see that is a decade old. That’s not good communication! That’s clickbait.
@@teeanahera8949heck, the 2nd tag they put in their own video is Barcelona2024 lol
How's he supposed to know your an idiot that doesn't know the 34th frok the 37th? Serious question, I'm sure you get it all the time.
Amazing boats but I miss the elegance, beauty and quality of racing with the 12s.
these aren't boats the technology has turned them into something else and I agree
The America's Cup has always been about designing the best boat. It's not a race where all competitors use identical equipment, to find out who are the best sailors (the kind of sailing you see in the Olympics). The boats have to be designed to meet certain mathematical parameters, but there are tradeoffs allowed within those parameters (the 12 meters refers to a formula, not the length of the boat). And anything else not constrained by those parameters is allowed (e.g. the famous AUS winged keel). After a century of racing 12 meters, their design was probably as optimized as could be. So a change was necessary to breathe new life into the design competition the Cup is supposed to be about. Whether you like the catamarans or not, it's indisputable that these boats have advanced sailboat design by leaps and bounds. Their similarity to aircraft just drives home the point that the Navier-Stokes equations do not distinguish between water or air. These boats are essentially the first flat-screen TV produced (42" and cost $20k). Eventually their technology will come down in price and make its way into regular boats (just like you can buy a 50" TV for $200 now). We're already seeing more widespread use of carbon fiber, thanks to manufacturing research and field testing done to race these boats.
@@solandri69 They haven't advanced sailboat design, they've advanced race tech for a very narrow application. Outside of materials, there is nothing on these "boats" applicable to practical use by cruisers or amateur racers. I wouldn't even compare these vehicles to cats, the point of the foil is diminish the impact of current, and for many of us that's simply not sailing. Large scale kitesurfing would be a better description.
Still miss the old 12 meter boats.
Miss boats for which current is a consideration.
And changing sails
best sailboat racing i have ever seen!!!!!!!
You edited the race where NZL was ahead but the race was cancelled due to time. 🤦🏻♂️
Funny that!
That start on race 11 was the best start in a sailing race I've ever witnessed. I remember sitting on the couch just LMAO.
Wow, has it already been over 10 years?? I attended all the races that year here in San Francisco. It was an awesome comeback. Got invited into Larry Elisons's afterparty the evening of the last race. Crazy times.
Ahh, this was such a great event. Incredible sailors and machines. And what a come-back by Oracle/USA. I understand why they dialed it down, but what a magnificent era.
Those boats are technological marvels
IMO those aren't boats
I still think of these boats and these races all of the time. I remember watching the whole cup and was amazed at just how much each team learned after each race. At the beginning they couldnt even turn without falling off the foils. Then halfway through this battle, you essentially lost the race if you ever got off the foils. Truly amazing sailing.
As 2022 came to a close, the Ministry of Transport's road toll count reached a provisional figure of 378 people killed on New Zealand roads during the year. The 2021 and 2020 final road tolls both reached 318 road fatalities in each year - meaning this year's toll surged 60 people higher
Incredible amazing. What a crew.
Way to go guys the hard work payed off congrats go USA
I remember seeing the Oracle parked in New Zealand. It's such a beautiful craft up close.
I remember the days when I was actually about sailing not about the technical aspects of a boat and that’s sad
When was that? 12m was about as close as it got, but even it depended on technical superiority.
@@toomanyhobbies2011 it’s pretty obvious that you have no depth of knowledge when it comes to the cup and that’s OK. This is going back to pre-Connor days when it was a skipper and the crew that beat a skipper and a crew in roughly the same bolts, almost identical it depended upon the scale of the crew not the technical aspects of the boat. Yes, skill is needed but it’s diminished by the technical aspects of a boat and that’s not sailing.
@@eddieohearn17 yeah.... I prefer the mini or the globe boats be tech centric ....the AC use to be almost an OD race
@@donhearn2248 I totally agree with you. The America’s cup has become more about experimenting to make a boat more technical faster, but never the crew. And we do need improvements and technology. That’s good. But don’t we need individuals that can actually sail? Going out and hiring a large piece of meat that can work a grinder. Nope.
Try the 2017 Super Bowl with the Patriots losing 28-3 in the 3rd Quarter!
what was the date of this event?
I has to extend my leave, luckily I was able to work remotely, that was one hell over a comeback, or one hell of the fumble, all depends on which side you were rooting for. SF Bay was actually the perfect venue for such a race.
Great racing at a great vinue. The race course was literally surrounded by cities.
wait a minute. I just watched a video saying the CarParkles getting the legends aviation award was the greatest comeback ever. Communication is the key
For sure!
Amazing
10 years later those Kiwis still quite butt hurt. 😂
Yeah, and they haven't got over Australia's underarm ball in a one day international in1981.
I’d call it almost the biggest f-up of all time, they had the fastest boat from the get go, they just didn’t know how to sail it. They had to observe the kiwis in order to learn. And when you add on barkers poor starting…well the rest is history. Also, they should have been banned from the event for cheating in the lead up World Series events where they were adding weight to the boats and shifting it around, they pinned that on someone in their team so the real guilty guys would still be able to sail in the cup.
exactly!! Oracle couldn't foil into the wind until ETNZ showed them how. also that 9th race where ETNZ crossed the line first but was over the time limit due to light winds was embarrassing for Oracle too. great for their lawyers but still🤭
But it all came down to the last minute rule change by the USA lowering the upper wide limit. That meant the Kiwi boat was built a lot heavier and stronger, Still time has shown that the best boat wins even with dodgy deals done!!
A lotta Cope around here.
A lotta Cope around here.
A lotta Cope around here.
Larry Ellison owes the win to Paul Bieker from Seattle. Oracle was down 6 - 0 facing elimination by Team New Zealand. Paul designed interceptors on the stern of the boat to lift the hulls out of the water onto the foils. It worked. Larry Ellison / Oracle won 7 in a row in the greatest come back in sports history.
The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.
I remember hearing those words over that ski jump crash every Saturday afternoon.
From the movie 300 "we must consult the Oracle" 😂😂
I remember that race, there was an app for that!
Yep.
1983 was the best come back...
Off the top of my ahead I recall at the time the talk was how great Australia’s new design was and how they were going to beat the U.S.. It was a come back, but only because the U.S. was lucky in the first 2 races due to equipment failure by Australia. The superior boat won that year.
tacking! Daffy duck 'em... etc. Love the movie, but only thing i know about this lol
From 2013
This is a 2013 race.
This lost only hardened Team New Zealand resolve to comeback better, stronger & faster. Next time would be a different story and their redemption complete. Still the team to beat & caretakers & Defenders of the America's Cup. So come and get it and all the best to the challengers.
Jimmy take a bow - Legend!!
If it wasn’t for a little wind change the Kiwis would have won it in the race that was timed out. Lead by a country mile and within a few hundred metres of the finish line and it timed out? Then the American boat employed Kiwis to make the changes they needed to make the, go fast. Had nothing really to do with Spithill but he seems to get 100% of the credit. Having said that Barker didn’t really perform great for all those races ..
NZL was ahead 8-1. They had 8 races to win one and the trophy. They fumbled badly, probably worst ever in any sports. You seemed to be sored about it. Oh well.
These boats are fun to watch….but I miss the old J boats…….
Because of this boat race. They had to change the most iconic race to March 2013 in San Francisco and someone died during the swim of the Escape from Alcatraz triathlon.
And to think, There was such a big fuss in the eighties with that winged keel thing.😂
This could have been a great video. But instead you do not explain what is on the line, how many more races are needed to win. And its all about the starts. Please re-edit!
I miss the investigation - what did Team USA 'change' on that boat, would be interesting to know
Every Australian says Nahhh
I miss the Jclass racing. These things are ridiculous.
The American boat was already beat when they changed skipper. That race was won by an Aussie, not Americans. Don't mention it again. Ever!
Sail racing is one of the weirdest things ever.
Well we all know the saying that finishes with "and America waives the rules" 😂 ....yet again
You know it is fast sailing when they start wearing helmets
So its New Zealand vs Oracle
Yea for the ones that dont know like myself u definitely miss led us i was thinking this was 2023 till the announcer said 2014 once towards the end would of been nice to know the yr or id prolly wouldn't of watched it to be honest
What sport is this?
Up the Kiwis
These vessels do not look like any vessel that "normal" people use.
You want a comeback go look up Greg Lemond.
That American at the end of vid had an interesting accent , what state was he from ?🤣
Australian
Melbourne, FL😂
I didn’t see end of video, but nice thing about being an American, they don’t all have to look the same, accents and all! Or did we forget?
@@larshowen3319 I thought Melbourne had a NY accent lol
He'a an Aussie from Sydney, Australia.
Wasn’t the whole crew Australian?
The US team captain is from New Zealand
Kiwi's who fix USA boat to
Ancient history
they need to go back to traditional boats
There should not be a helicopter flying above them boats while they're racing. Pretty easy for him to point his prop wash To one of the boats.
The pilot has been well briefed as to where to position the helicopter so that's its downwash doesn't effect either boat. It might look as though it's directly 'above' the boats, but that is just the camera angle.
I quit watching when the 12s went away
I was there making friends with the Kiwi's so i could have a place to stay at the AC 35...🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸then boys came alive....not really interested in the current direction of the AC
I wanted to watch this, but without the start, a lot of the story is untold. I gave up watching at the first commercial interruption.
How much do these things cost? I just saw a close up and it looks like they're completely carbon fibre. A high end supercar with a mono and carbon body panels is eyewatering expensive and difficult to make. These have to be a fortune.
10 to 15mil. Just the build.
Please note: The skipper of the American boat is an Aussie, so it was really between Australia and New Zealand.
It’s a team sport. The helmsman is important, but no individual wins the race on their own.
Ignorance. You may want to do more research.
That's the worst post ever on KZhead! As if the boat doesn't matter! What a wanker!
He can't win the race without the crew , it"s not called the America Cup for nothing.
Please note: both austrailia and NZ draw their roots from colonial england. Forming ones own independant nation out of a former british colonial territory is the most american thing ever. Therefore, both boats are american. /s obv. Your logic sucks bro.
To bad we were caught cheating, it would've been a great story if we hadn't.
looks easy
But because we all now know that they cheated and how they did it, this "comeback" loses some of its magic. Still, all very America's Cup. 😂 (if you don't know the story, then get a copy of the book, The Comeback.)
Uhmm.....how old is this film ?? This seems to be back when America was somewhat descent of a country but now full of diversity xrapola.
Why do you need so much money for this game
wow, people still care about the America's cup? weird.
At least the yanks don't bowl underarm balls!😊
Please go back to the 12m's much better racing
Hmmm, a British skipper and a boat made in New Zealand. No wonder the USA did so well.
"Greatest comeback ever"? Are you completely delusional? I suggest you look up 1983 before you make such a ridiculous statement!
The whole thing has become so damn silly.
The augmented sound sucks ass!
Or is it the second greatest collapse after the Boston Bruins 2023 first round demise?
NY Yankees against the Redsox
yeh,..that was the biggest american joke,..in sailing history😞
They cheated. Absolutely cheated by changing/adding tech
YES we no all about money
WTF. This old as. What is the point of bringing it up again all these years later. It is history. Move on. Spithill isn't doing so good in the Sail GP. So what is your point? What matters is the Americas Cup now. Maybe it shouldn't be called the Americas Cup any more.
"Those who don't learn from the past, are bound to repeat it." What would you call "america's cup"?
@@the-naked-sailor Newport cup ? 😃
@@rayRay-pw6gz what was the name of the boat that won _america's cup_ ?
Change it back to its original name “R.Y.S Cup”
@@the-naked-sailor the 34th America’s cup didn’t have names on the boat. They had teams , team Oracle USA was the winner. Larry Ellison of Oracle was the owner.
Stupidest sport I’ve ever seen. Only for billionaires. How lame.
The trth is the american team cheated, they allowed a law that gave them advantage, tis why they suddenly started winning. A American saying "win at all costs".
