24 HOURS OF RELENTLESS REPAIRS: THE TALENTED SHORE CREW’S DRIVE TO SAIL TOMORROW 

I can imagine.

Yeah but what a dinner party story. You’ll dine out on that for life. But not so much at your folks house…

Back out again in a couple of days?

Sean has been famous for years , up there with the sailors,, kiwi hard that man and team

😂😂😂. That’s the Kiwis ❤

This is a Emirates Team video. They give one view.

Thanks you're a great neighbour. And kick some Aussie butt too ha ha!

​​@@stevemorrison5568Aussies are helming 2 of the six boats lo it would be great to see an Australian team then we could have a proper Kiwi Aussie battle

@@HERU-ls9jn, I love watching Jimmy Spithall and PeterBurling against one another

Steve Aussies are helming 3 boats Luna Rosa USA and NZ. Great to hear from you

@@billyoungtheblade6120 my bad sorry Jimmy lol. Yes 3of the 6 holy moly

You’re right. 6 ton dropped from 7 meters is one hell of an impact - lucky it didn’t collapse. In fact it did break partially which is just as well as it would have absorbed a lot of the force of impact and reduced the damage to the hull.

Yeah, that came to my mind, too and I wouldn't be surprised if everyone offered help. Most proper athletes want to win it on the track and do so against the best of their generation.

M8 what makes you think that the no8 wire is the most secret weapon we have🤔

Bloody good job lads i wasn't worried at all 🙄🤒😎

Couldnt have been that bad if the #8 fence wire wasnt needed

With that same crane what’s to stop it happening again?

Team owned and operated

@@Mrlang74 seriously? Do you know that and if so how do you know that?

@@paulsmith4220 read it in nz news , stuff news nz

like everybody else. You guys are not good at fixing sheeps, you have way too many

@@fabiocampagnoli yup, we're OK at eating them, though 🐑🐑🥂

a little different. f1 is just mechano.

​@@qksmithwith a stack load of carbon everything. Those f1 teams put in some serious hours, although the Williams team will be looking forward to an easier run without LS wrapping the whole car each weekend

@@qksmith Not true at all, the cars are 90% composites, there is not always time to swap over large parts so time critical local repairs are needed on a daily basis, especially on the floor of the car. I speak from experience as I used to work at GP’s for one of said teams, it’s a relentless job once the cars start running, amazing how much breaks on the car that you’d never notice on TV but the car is slowly losing performance.

y x?

Aren't you a kiwi anymore ? ... exactly, y x ?

Filling & fairing compound

Commonly used term for body filler used on car body repairs

As I born and breed Kiwi I laughed straight way when I heard that

Haha haha 😂

Secret sauce !! ❤️

No praise, no respect, - - bloody shameful !!

@@alpeach9480 just an act of God then?

Yeah, nice and "old school". I think he did talk about a post cure though but not sure I heard correctly. But a good controlled wet layup is possibly faster (they are using their fastest hardeners), easier and safer than trying to heat an uneven area with matts for the prepreg to set. Either way, impressive. I think they built thei land speed vessel with wet layups, too but not sure.

Most pre pregs require a higher cure temperature (65+deg C) which is harder to achieve evenly over such a surface. That heat would also sink into the interior of the boat which some electrical/hydraulic systems may not tolerate. An ambient cure under a vacuum bag followed by a low-ish temp posture is fine for such a repair. I work for an F1 team and our trackside repairs are all wet lam with local heat to hurry things along! Whatever gets you back out racing quickest….

How did it happen? What was the cause? What will the remedial action be?

Sabotage

@bwatson. .... I assume that's a question.

@@GaryPeters-nv8pj if it is a question it's a stupid one, and doubly so if it's a statement. I would however make an exception if the definition of sabotage was broadened to include hacking/spoofing of the wireless control signal, which seems to me (albeit faintly) plausible both culturally and technologically...

Why? Us Kiwis just want to know the TRUTH of what happened. I certainly do. Don't you?

​@@GaryPeters-nv8pj I certainly do want to know the truth, but I don't resort to conspiracy theories with zero proof within minutes of an event. Hence why I said it would be nice to put out a video explaining why it actually happened. Truth (all caps or not) needs facts but sometimes it takes a little time to gather them, though. Maybe there are insurance claims in the way so maybe they can't say much, but if they don't suspect foul play, it would be nice to come out and say it. We sadly live in a world where you have to these days. This is not much to judge anything on but the tone and faces of everyone on camera didn't give me any vibes of anger towards anyone. If Kiwis don't know how much goodwill they have, then the underdog feeling is too strong in you guys. Maybe it's human nature to think everyone is out to get you, but most often they are not. You are widely liked and respected. I mean, it would be nice not to see a clean sweep, but in general the world likes you as a people. Also, while ACC has a rich history of secrecy, espionage and exploring loopholes, sabotage is next level accusations. I personally believe no one in any camp would ever organize such a thing. Even if someone somehow tinkered with the idea, it's not something you can keep quiet forever and the backlash would be immense. It just makes zero sense. Gear failure or human error simply makes the most sense.

Jogg off Jimmy! Totally innecessary negative comment.
