Como ganar la america's cup ? (2)

La cosa es que hay una prohibición explícita de usar el spi en las piernas 1 y 3, lo que haría imposible la aplicación de mi teoría.
Ed Baird me lo explicó de la siguiente manera :

Marco,

There was a time when setting a spinnaker or gennaker was allowed in the pre-start. In fact, it is something that we sometimes do when racing small boats on the world match race tour.

In recent years, the complicated nature and large size of the Cup boats has prompted the restriction of spinnakers at certain times during America's Cup Class races. Specifically, we are not allowed to use spinnakers in the pre-start, and on legs 1 and 3 (unless there is a large shift and the umpires hoist a special flag). This restriction tends to make the pre-start more even, and understandable to the general public. It also means the crews know they are entering an equal fight.

Thanks for your strategic input. Like you, we are always considering better ways to win races.

Best regards,

Ed Baird

Ed Baird tiene un currículum muy extenso, lleno de éxitos, lo último y para mí más importante: fue el timonel en la última regata de la 32 américa' s cup, en la que Alinghi le ganó al queridísimo TNZ
