Such is the intensity of their training this week, that Alinghi Red Bull Racing have been impressing mightily out on the 37th America’s Cup racecourse, building proficiency and consistency into their sailing and showing significant steps forward in technique. Quite simply on a day where the breeze built beautifully to top out with gusts of 18 knots on light chop, the Swiss made the America’s Cup community sit up and take notice.
Talking about the tailored physical programmes that he is conducting and the contribution of the Red Bull Athlete Performance Centre that is integrated with the team, Alex said: “There's obviously quite different demands for the guys that have a really high physical requirements on the boat to the guys that have to be much more technical in their roles on the boat; but what we see is a big overlap between the two so we try and taper the programme to the individuals on the boat and also to a certain degree the groups that they're in…it's brilliant to be involved and have the support from the APC, we use them and they're definitely embedded in their programme that we support the guys with here so it's great to have their support and they really add value to what we do here.”
Section 41. Reconnaissance
a) As a campaign cost reduction measure, COR/D has mutually agreed to cooperatively implement a centralised reconnaissance programme for all teams for the reconnaissance of all Competitors’ AC75 Yachts, AC40 Yachts and LEQ12 yachts including both on-land and on-water imagery (the “Joint Recon Programme”).
b) Each team is assigned a two-person Recon Unit to follow their every on-water move, but it's not that simple. The cameras are supplied and identical for all Recon Units. Drones are not allowed, and they can't get that close, plus following a boat and keeping a camera steady at 45 knots isn't that easy to begin with.
c) A three minute interview follows each on water day, and teams must answer the Recon Unit's questions while trying not to give too much away. It's a raw, unedited view of the never before seen behind-the-scenes development of a team and their boat to win the oldest trophy in international sports.
