O que este vídeo aborda

A live panel with the U.S. SailGP team covers how the F50 foiling catamaran works, what each crew role does, and how SailGP racing compares to conventional sailing. The F50 is an identical-fleet foiling catamaran that reaches speeds up to 60 mph and subjects crew to up to 3 Gs; three interchangeable wing sizes — 18, 24, and 29 metres — let teams tune for wind strength.1:55 Anna Weiss, the first full-time woman grinder and jib trimmer in SailGP, describes operating foot pedals and a button panel simultaneously to trim the wing while grinding.22:11 Taylor Canfield, seven-time world champion and team driver, explains that grinders supply direct human power to the wing with no stored reservoir.23:46 CEO Mike Buckley notes that three races last season drew nearly two million live viewers on CBS and that 25,000 ticketed fans packed grandstands in Auckland.26:58 The U.S. team's upcoming schedule includes back-to-back events in LA and San Francisco — the first double-header in SailGP history — followed by New York.29:02 Buckley projects the league will expand to 22–23 races per season within five years.36:40 The panel also covers shared data access across all teams, the transition from compass-only sailing to data-driven performance, and community sailing outreach through Hudson River Community Sailing in New York City.14:01
