OH Stuff…

…. click bait extreme.

[walkingaline]

Well.

Glory to Cuben fiber, I suppose.

Still, the foils and hi-tech take confirm to be more an issue than anything. I had my preferences, and they've been confirmed during these finals.

Traditionally everything above the waterline on the 75ft-long boats - the sails, mast and winches - was powered by grinders, sailors who used their arms to turn cranks.

Yet technological rule changes for this year's competition have reduced crew sizes from 11 people to eight, but with the proviso that any body part can now be used to create power.

As legs can typically produce more power than arms, cyclors have been brought in and static pedalling systems installed on the boats. Teams estimate they have since seen a 25-30% gain in watts produced per athlete by using the lower part of their body rather than upper.

The big reveal for America’s Cup entrants is near complete as teams from Great Britain, New Zealand, Switzerland, and USA have completed the AC75s, with Italy now offering the AC75 that they hope will win the 37th edition. Only the French remain in construction. Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli splashed their boat on April 13 at their home base in Cagliari, and not surprisingly, it is arguably the best-looking boat of this cycle, retro-cool style is everywhere, with the silver sheen hull resonating in the early Spring sunshine, kicking off its heavily arched forms and its deep nod to deck aero. The hull form is atypical of the new breed of AC75s with a slender bustle running the full length for the Barcelona sea state and tapering off at the bow – perhaps slightly less volume than we’ve seen on Emirates Team New Zealand and certainly less voluminous than Alinghi Red Bull Racing. The bow profile is sharp, kicking off the immediate flaring underneath whilst on top it is sculpted, tapering forward as low-profile as possible within the volume rule. The pods are deep with the cyclors able to tuck in, almost unseen, behind the helm and trim teams.

THEY WENT WITH A SILVER RACE BOAT THIS TIME! Not boring black like last time!

TERMS RELATING TO CORES

Coreic

(n., suffix: -coreic; plural: Coreixes)

Term meaning your system is influenced by core(s.)

Acoreic

(n., plural: Acoreixes)

Term meaning your system is not influenced by core(s.)

Ultra-, Sub-, Semi-

(prefixes)

Ultracoreic: Your system is heavily/regularly influenced by core(s).

Subcoreic: Your system is minimally/irregularly influenced by core(s.)

Semicoreic: Your system is moderately/occasionally influenced by core(s.)

(NOTE: These terms are up to individual interpretation, we took them to mean “ultra = a lot”, “sub = barely”, and “semi = somewhere in between those.”)

Multi-/Poly-, Dual-, Tri- (Can be modified to specific circumstances)

(prefixes)

Multicoreic, Polycoreic: Your system is influenced by several cores.

Dualcoreic: Your system is influenced by two distinct cores or halves.

Tricoreic: Your system is influenced by three distinct cores or factions.

(NOTE: These terms are close to Multi Orbital, Dual Orbital, and Triple Orbital, all coined by Kaleidoscope System. The difference is those are specific to median systems (to our knowledge) and these are open to all.)

Ex-, Post-

(prefixes, syn.)

Excoreic, Postcoreic: Term meaning your system was once coreic but through some reasons/means no longer identifies or operates that way.

Cycloriec

(noun, plural: cycloriexes)

Term meaning your system has a revolving core or set of cores.

-flexible

(suffix, singular: coreicflex; plural: coreicflexes)

Suffix meaning your system’s relationship related to cores changes over time or is flexible in nature.

(NOTE: cores can also be replaced here by shards. All definitions are the same but applied to shards instead of cores.)

E.g. Shardic, Ashardic, Ultrashardic/Subshardic/Semishardic, Multishardic/Polyshardic/Dualshardic/Trishardic, Exshardic/Postshardic, Cyshardic, Shardicflex.

Scuttlebutt Sailing News: ETNZ - Under (Hydraulic) Pressure

Take a look behind the mission critical hydraulic systems which the grinders/cyclors pressurize on these high-tech high-speed racing machines.

OH yummy, Marius is back as a cyclor on ETNZ.

Outrageously good looking… Interesting that he emailed Kevin Shoebridge and Blair Tuke to originally get on the boat in 2019. 😎

The hottest ticket in Barcelona tonight was for the ‘reveal’ and roll-out of the AC75 that Alinghi Red Bull Racing is hoping will bring the two-time America’s Cup winner more glory at the 37th edition.

For the assembled crowd and hundreds peering over the fence, they got the first look as the hull form came into slow view. What they saw was a dead straight, ultra-slender bow profile leading the way back to a long, tapered bustle trailing all the way aft along the centerline and ending right in the stern beneath the communications tower. 

In the dark and the dramatic smoke, it was tough to see precisely the form, and the suspicion is more bulbous forward before the taper aft, but this will all be revealed in the coming days. The aggressive flaring of the deck off the bustle is key for the expected wavy conditions in Barcelona with the aim of promoting super-fast flight.

The bow detail is interesting with what look like ‘bumps’ just aft of the stem which could be used to capitalize on the ‘Venturi’ effect and send air molecules upwards to the jib creating greater pressure along the foot or could simply be there for volume to help lift the boat after a nosedive. Led by Principal Designer Marcelino Botin, the final shape was derived from thousands of hours of computer simulation and airflow work.

The big news though was saved for last as its cut-away cockpit at the stern leaves a good 10 feet of open area and just carbon sidewalls that abruptly end. The rule change for the 37th America’s Cup means no backstays so weight reduction here is paramount and with the crew-members, now down to just eight, not crossing as they did in the last competition, their concentration is all around the foil area. 

Expect to see the team continue with inboard cyclors and just two pod positions either side for the two helms and two trimmers – again to be confirmed when the boat has its official launch in the coming weeks.

SPOILER ALERT

I start to dislike sookie st james's attitudes. She jumped to street and caused a cyclor to fall from bike and she did not see. She is so rackless, insensitive.

The interesting thing is that noone tells her what she has did. AT first episode, in the kitchen she did lots of things but noone says about it to her. It is maybe Surreal humour but it is not so good.

grandchild and granddad was at golf club. I did not expect it. All became because of emily. She connected all family together .

This is an example of a fertilizer machine that is on the market today. Basically, it is a machine that you chuck any organic waste and it’ll turns them into a fertilize. Their common aspect is filter, controlled temperature environments ventilation and sometime enzymes solution. 

These machine usually come with 2 main type, Manual and the electrical. Manual winded version contains moving rails, drilled bin and a lid. This version will needs to be in a warm environment around 25 - 40 degrees enable for the bacteria to grow. colder or warmer than that would slower the growing rates ( approximately 2 weeks till you get the fertilize) until of these bacteria breakdown the waste.

The second type is with temperature control that maximize the growth of the bacteria also an automatic rotation bin that avoid you touches them waste (for a better hygiene). This one also takes faster time for the food to fertilize, a little as 1 day.
