America’s Cup @Bermuda: Final Practice period, Groupama Team France
“We’re improving the way we manage the boat, & it’s getting better and better” –@groupamateamfr skipper Franck Cammas on practice racing. ???????? pic.twitter.com/BXlL8oDPo1— America’s Cup (@americascup) May 17, 2017
Not many shots from the French AC50, so here some good images from Team Groupama Team France , full gallery here – Cammas Video by Americas Cup.
Team France decided two use two different foils in each hull. They lead BAR in one of the race but Franck commented the strategy of diff foils seems not to be working that fine at the moment : “Upwind we are having issues with the smaller foil” , he also says they are improving plenty.
Watch video above with Franck on their performance from yesterday May 16.
