This is the interview I've been waiting for. Answers sooo many questions. This is essential viewing for anyone watching the AC75 racing game. Thank you for posting. Best wishes from Panama 🇵🇦
@@timransby1774 how about... Extremely insightful! Not hyperbolic enough, I guess? What would you say if you actually thought his Insight was insane? This is why I have to laugh at the misuse of words that has become fashionable. A hypo: Person. 1: Twitter blew up today!! P2: Why? What did somebody say? Who was it? P1 No....somebody actually blew up the Twitter offices! Then there's the misuse of "literaly". I could go on, but you'd probably think this Boomer was literally insane!😊
@@timransby1774 Actually, devolving would be more accurate. Language evolved when it assigned specific meanings to specific words. As I demonstrated, we're headed in the other direction!
Fascinating. One of the best things about following the Vendee Globe and the America's Cup is that we get some access to the thinking of very high quality people. Nathan Outteridge is no exception. My thanks to you both
Great insight from Nathan about the trend to source sailors from dinghy and skiff classes such as the Moth, Finn, and the 49er etc. When the America’s Cup was sailed in displacement designs, the skippers came from keel boats.
You're an idiot. Virtually all of the top displacements guys- Dennis, Couttsie, Spithill, Ted Turner, Eric Ridder, John Driscoll , Ted Hood, Iain Murray, etc. etc., were highly accomplished dinghy/skiff sailors in their youth. From this, I can therefore only assume that your profile pic is a photo shop of you on your couch watching 'The Bachelor' pasted onto some guy sailing his laser (or reasonable hand drawn facsimile).
Thank you 4 posting. I'm Italian, and a supportive of Luna Rossa that was winning this year, the Prada Cup. I'm excited to see how will be going against the Kiwi boat.
Great interview. I think conversations like this help a lot in building our shared understanding of the competition, and the place the America's Cup holds in the sailing pantheon.
Very interesting, the best yet on the boats and teams, there's no substitute for Nathan's experience and history and the opportunity to consider away from the action. Looking forward to the next one, and others, if you can manage others along these lines.
So much fun to watch, two sailing-enthusiast chatting 🥰! And the short videos in between with theses crazy little foiling one-man-boats is just breathtaking and scary the same second 😱🤩💪👍!! Thanks for the effort you put into this! Greetings from Switzerland, just getting back from am week in the alps with 5 feet of snow everywhere around you 🤣😎!
Brilliant stuff! - this insight is what I've been lacking to fully be amazed by the crews and flying beasts. You just got another subscriber! Thank you from Norway.
This has developed into the BEST youtube channel for us who are not involved in AC sailing to keep up to speed with the new developments in the sport. I wonder if those "naysayers" have any understanding at all of the role something like this plays in .... progress... We are at the start of a whole new world of mono-hull sailing and they should NOT be trying to stifle it in order to stay in the past. The accomodating categories of sailing will remain for a very long time to come and they WILL continue to have their cake, but this type of coverage (and racing/development) can only increase the interest of more people in the sport as a whole. I'm afraid I am beginning to get a waft of (dare I say it) "elitism"
having operated diggers. It's quite similar with little 1.5t diggers. They are fidgety, jittery and move around a lot. As the digger gets bigger, they actually become smoother and easier to operate because the are far more stable, even though they can do way more damage if used incorrectly.
3 years later and Nate co driver with Pistol Pete and in race 7 winning by 1000 metres and almost a minute with 1 race to keep the cup, makes this conversation much more awesome..💝😎
Hi, there have been many videos explaining how these boats fly, but none explained how you can go upwind four times faster than the wind speed. Why doesn’t the apparent wind direction stop that?
@@BrynHetrick The boats are an amazing state of forward-thinking, so fast and advanced. going back to the arm cranking is just holding onto tradition I believe. What a great sport, what can they do to top foils??? Randall
Agree with Tim, insightful even for a non sailor BUT Americas Cup enthuthiast. Sounds like Starting on moth sailboats is like beginning with go karts for Formula 1 hopefuls.
Interesting what Ian say about your first learner boat....... not sure if that's right ...........do people who sailed a wind surfer as their first boat have a disadvantage ....it was a disadvantage for me getting on a windsurfer. If all i knew was foiling i bet i would have a whole different set of skills and then transitioning in to a lead mine would bring all sorts of different perspectives...... we will find out ....admittedly i don't hear of windsurfers champions transitioning into top positions on yachts but maybe there is??? cheers warren
hi guys, nice video, many thanks. I happen to have a skier's thumb injury on my left hand. This makes the wrist cock , the top of the back swing and the transition a b it tricky as the 2nd joint of my thumb is sensitive and suffers from a loss of power. Do you guys have any expeirence with Skier's thumbs?
I enjoyed these infos on how these teams are trained in a very specific way to produce a very choregraphed ballet, the only thing that i really hate is this image of these guys sitting in these narrow "corridors" winching or busy with the power pedals, it gives the impression that the old days of having galley slaves on the oars, here we are with these beautiful machines, very futuristic and flying over the water and yet this old image of galley slaves is so vivid each time you see the crew at work...i'm sure i'm not the only one who thought about it, so if someone has an idea please voice it out.
With all due respect to Ken's sailing skills and racing experience, he doesn't really have a banter- friendly personality. Irrespective of that, Ken is still doing a pretty decent job IMO.
Great machines, great sailors - no doubt about that. But come on, only 4 teams can afford competing in the AC21 series! The air gets thin at the high end and a series with 12 teams would be way more inspiring. So please reshape the rules to a lower budget and open the door for more competition.
It looks like the grinding produces the hydrolic energy, badly needed to balance off, but how much do they rely on computer calculations and data? Or, there is no time for it....
Excellent video! The right questions to the right person to answer them. I just wish the team were not so secretive about their setups Please, keep up the good work A final note: who are the 24 sad idiots who disliked this video?
Nathan is such a down to earth and pleasant guy - good on you for letting us have the full interview
This is the interview I've been waiting for. Answers sooo many questions. This is essential viewing for anyone watching the AC75 racing game. Thank you for posting. Best wishes from Panama 🇵🇦
Insane levels of insight. Just next level. Thank you for an excellent level of journalism.
Insane misuse of the word insane!

Nathan is a good man to have involved. Good insights and understands the game really well.
Good show. Really well put together
This is a great interview if you're like me from a non foiling sailing world looking at this cyborg sailing with a sense of bewilderment. Fantastic.
Fascinating. One of the best things about following the Vendee Globe and the America's Cup is that we get some access to the thinking of very high quality people. Nathan Outteridge is no exception. My thanks to you both
Nathan should be in a boat!, but I do thoroughly enjoy his commentry. looking forward too part two.
Tom Slingsby as well
Would like to See that too... Although i think they might have exclusive contracts with SailGP keeping them from participating in the AC
This was really one of the better videos looking in depth. Thanks for making it!
This is a fantastic sailing show. A sailing channel for sailors.

I'm excited to see how will be going against the Kiwi boat.
I’m already looking at these boats differently... Excellent insights.
Great interview. I think conversations like this help a lot in building our shared understanding of the competition, and the place the America's Cup holds in the sailing pantheon.
I didn’t notice any vehicle sound. Great interview, awesome editing.
Very interesting, the best yet on the boats and teams, there's no substitute for Nathan's experience and history and the opportunity to consider away from the action. Looking forward to the next one, and others, if you can manage others along these lines.
Terrific interview. Nathan is very articulate as well as knowledgeable. And I didn’t hear and road noise.
These boats are amazing. 40knt+ on 11/12 knots winds. I'm looking at the speed boats trying to keep up. Just amazing.
Wow, i just love this channel and the host (and Nathan), what a gift, thank you!
so good.. I learned heaps and received a better all round view.. thanks guys
Thanks for this interview and for part 2 as well. Great insights from Nathan. Hope to see him in the next cup!
Excellent chat
Great chat, thank you, definitely would love to have more of that with Nathan and Ken.
Excellent explainer by Nathan! I'm sharing with my non-sailor friends, too.
Fabulous interview Matt.

Thanks Matt! Keeps getting better.
When is part two? can't wait. Absolutely the best content out there!
Thank you for Part1 and am looking forward to Part2
You always do an interesting and well finished video. And this one was well on point for this stage of the cup. Very well done, thank you.
Great insight from Nathan. Thanks for this
Really interesting, warm interview with a great fella
Thanks for this enlightening and superb insight.
"Love the commentary" Very interesting chat with Nathan!
Greag to hear your voice in the recent official AC video, hopefully they use you more, much clearer and entertaining than their usuals.
For someone that's not up to speed (no pun intended) on this type of sailing, I found this more enlightening then entertaining.
Very intesting interview! THANK YOU
Great interview.
Enjoy the intelligent insight
The thoughts about how to get into this level of sailing are wonderful: moths and "an optimist is a lot cheaper than a moth" for the basics.
LOVE THE COMMENTARY ❤️
Love the commentary! 👍🇬🇧
Fascinating insight. Great interview Matt. Keep 'em comin'
Great interview, thanks! 😎
Great stuff, keep it coming Matt 👍
A great video!
I look forward to pt. 2. Thanks for great work!!
Very good, many thanks.
Great interview.
Great production as usual!:)

Amazing. Thank you !
Very interesting, thanks!
The Luna Rossa is actually a Jaeger. The 2 helmsman must be drift compatible.
Excellent.
Great insights! 🍓

ready for part 2
Good stuff.
Very happy interesting- thank you
Nathan now made the difference in team nz win .1024 the wind whisperer good on you mate
I like your videos, keep it up!
Great insight thanks!
00:08:45 for the key roles
I started in an Optimist. Then a Laser. Good boats to work out how sailing works.
this was cool and interesting :)
thank you.
Brilliant interview. 8 grinders, a foiling flight controller, a trimmer and helmsman. Who is the strategist?
Hi, there have been many videos explaining how these boats fly, but none explained how you can go upwind four times faster than the wind speed. Why doesn’t the apparent wind direction stop that?
Dankie. Nice 2 C & 2 understand. Great Stuff! So this is the sportscar. Where R the family- car vision?
Hopefully one day someone will make something like this for long-distance ocean racing. Gonna Bet someone is already thinking about it as well.
Why did the teams not stick with the peddle generator system. I think it was an ingenious NZ change in Bermuda?
Randall
The rules were changed to not allow them.
@@BrynHetrick The boats are an amazing state of forward-thinking, so fast and advanced. going back to the arm cranking is just holding onto tradition I believe. What a great sport, what can they do to top foils???
Randall
they banned it in the rules
Hi ! I think Grant wanted to revert to traditional grinders for this cup.
Look fwd to Part 2
Agree with Tim, insightful even for a non sailor BUT Americas Cup enthuthiast. Sounds like Starting on moth sailboats is like beginning with go karts for Formula 1 hopefuls.
Awesome
Bro, Nate is the man

Yes great stuff/////
Awesomeness 🇦🇺👍
What is the mast in the back ground on the water at 13:14
hi guys, nice video, many thanks. I happen to have a skier's thumb injury on my left hand. This makes the wrist cock , the top of the back swing and the transition a b it tricky as the 2nd joint of my thumb is sensitive and suffers from a loss of power. Do you guys have any expeirence with Skier's thumbs?
Great
Why do some grinders use leg power and others arms? Doesn’t it make more sense to use legs?
I enjoyed these infos on how these teams are trained in a very specific way to produce a very choregraphed ballet, the only thing that i really hate is this image of these guys sitting in these narrow "corridors" winching or busy with the power pedals, it gives the impression that the old days of having galley slaves on the oars, here we are with these beautiful machines, very futuristic and flying over the water and yet this old image of galley slaves is so vivid each time you see the crew at work...i'm sure i'm not the only one who thought about it, so if someone has an idea please voice it out.
So where is part 2?
I really don't understand why the AC coverage doesn't have this kind of banter. Not just the superficial clipclap with Kenny boy.
With all due respect to Ken's sailing skills and racing experience, he doesn't really have a banter- friendly personality. Irrespective of that, Ken is still doing a pretty decent job IMO.
Because this interview is almost as long as an AC race. I think the commentators are doing a great job
ive seen changes since i started watching professional world sailing
Great video. Thanks for keeping it down to a level we morons can even grasp.
Cool
Could someone tell me what is the white handle next to Ben Ainslie's wheel at 12'39" ? Thanks
Think its the rudder pitch control.
I didn't know Robert Webb was a sailor, or an Aussie :)
Hopefully Nathan will be back in a boat next cup
Great machines, great sailors - no doubt about that. But come on, only 4 teams can afford competing in the AC21 series! The air gets thin at the high end and a series with 12 teams would be way more inspiring. So please reshape the rules to a lower budget and open the door for more competition.

Excellent video! The right questions to the right person to answer them. I just wish the team were not so secretive about their setups
Please, keep up the good work
A final note: who are the 24 sad idiots who disliked this video?
Why is it so hard to find out more about the Referees boat? More about it's design and abilities
I'm pretty sure they're just standard Rayglass Protectors, most of the interesting tech will be back on shore in the umpire's room
Its a shame Nathan doesn't have a ride for this round of the cup. I suspect he's much less likely to choke than Dean Barker.
why the hell is NAthan not sailing on one??
Nathan for SKIPPER on USA
