1. First

2. It looks like a whale.

3. Win the Cup back and restore this race series to colossal keelboats with crew, sail work, close match strategy and tactics, and leave this trash all but forgotten. Super maxis are already vastly more impressive. The J class is vastly more impressive and it's nearly a century old. Why should AC suffer in some odd sailing backwater, like big Moths in ponds? Or shall AC end up in ice skates run by radio?

4. They already have the excuses to be used after loosing 😂

5. As much as I love traditional boating, these new boat designs are quite fascinating. I look forward to watching all of the races.

6. The kiwi’s created the dimensions for the foil box rule after they had already settled on a design, they intentionally gave the competitors a generous space to work with hoping they’d all maximise the dimensions, which they all did. Now the kiwis have limited the foil material’s modulus, I’d say to encourage the competition to beef up the foils thickness instead of working with the flex. Looking at TNZ’s foils, they’re raked forward and appear thinner (maybe). If I were competing against TNZ, my first thought would be what’s the trick, are they sending us down the garden path here?

7. Follow me😢

8. I agree with previous comments made YES.

9. I very like the slim design of Patriot. As a Swiss, I also like Alinghi's approach, which is quite different.

10. As a kiwi fan, this boat is a worry

11. Hi, what bot element, sial adjustments etc are automatically trimmed ?
    What is the level of automation ?

12. No comment on the relatively large rudder stock above the hull or added windage (maybe?) of side by side helm/trimmer?
    Foils and sails will matter most I reckon. Hull is largely something to mount the other bits on 🙂

13. I swim with cetasean… specifically humpback whales, and spinner dolphins. The dolphins have taught me how to optimize my energy emmulating their swimming techniques. The humpback in particular have command of movement, strength and grace. American Majic looks just like a humpback, down to the side fins. Biomemicery is the smart way, no need to reinvent, just memic what is a perfect design. If one was to see the grace of a humpback in the water, one would agree on the absolute perfection of design.

14. Looks a little doggie that bath tub 👀🤔will 🤥turn up 😂

15. If I am not mistaken, it's not less overall energy for the recumbent, it's less max power.

16. Should have been "they have done something a bit differently". You are supposed to come from England, not California

17. This is so f'ing stupid it is unbelievable

18. It has always been a case of the Kiwis totally farking the cup. They have major problems in the upstairs department and are only interested in producing some sort of perverse marketing non-event. They are just not bright enough and never have been.

19. Those idiots sitting down in the hulls are just such a farcical joke it is beyond laughable. Are you taking this seriously?

20. It's gotta be better than the first Patriot…isn't it?
