[quote=MN3][quote=martyr]Well from what I have read, American Magic is done. ☹[/quote]
Yes they are out.
American Magic out of the America's Cup as Luna Rossa wins
they lost a must win race
they did not win the start and were behind 100 meters pretty early
i think it was about 1/4 of the way through the race when they lost the ability to use a dagger (articulating foil) -
that was the dirt on top of the coffin (the nail in the coffin was when they lost the start and were behind a 100m.) they would have needed the Italians to demast, explode or sink to have any chance
not 100% sure of the rules but they were awarded a penalty shortly after the foil wouldn't respond the first time (either for going out of bounds or having both foils down ... really not sure, i had zoned out by then) they regained the use of the foil but it quickly failed again and they got a second penalty
Commentators said a few interesting things. 1 - this boat was under water a few days ago - the fact they even came back was amazing. 2 while making the repairs the other teams increased speed by 10%.
Let's not forget that Luna Rossa's captin is James Spithill who has been in 4 other AC's and won 3 (if i recall correctly)
next up: Prada Cup final against INEOS Team UK vs Italia's Luna Rossa - winner goes to the AC against NZ<!-- editby --><em>Edited by MN3 on Jan 30, 2021 - 11:20 AM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
