Mount Kuring -Gai NSW 2080 Tel. +61 2 9457 7477 [email protected] www.maxongroup.net.au October 02, 2019 The much -anticipated launch of the first two AC75 foiling monohull yachts from the Defender Emir- ates Team New Zealand and USA Challenger NYYC American Magic respectively did not disappoint the masses of America’s Cup fans waiting eagerly for their first gl impse of an AC75 ‘in the flesh’. Emirates Team New Zealand were the first to officially reveal their boat at an early morning naming cere- mony on September 6. Resplendent in the team’s familiar red, black and grey livery, the Kiwi AC75 was given the Maori nam e ‘Te Aihe’ (Dolphin). Meanwhile, the Americans somewhat broke with protocol by carrying out a series of un -announced test sails and were the first team to foil their AC75 on the water prior to a formal launch ceremony on Friday September 14 when their dark blue boat was given t he name ‘Defiant’. But it was not just the paint jobs that differentiated the first two boats of this 36th America’s Cup cycle – as it quickly became apparent that the New Zealand and American hull designs were also strikingly differ- ent.On first compar ison the two teams’ differing interpretations of the AC75 design rule are especially obvi- ous in the shape of the hull and the appendages. While the New Zealanders have opted for a bow section that is – for want of a better word – ‘pointy’, the Americans h ave gone a totally different route with a bulbous bow that some have described as ‘scow -like’ – although true scow bows are prohibited in the AC75 design rule.

  • Costs and Benefits of Hosting the 34Th America's
    LEGISLATIVE ANALYST REPORT: COSTS AND BENEFITS OF HOSTING THE 34TH AMERICA’S CUP IN SAN FRANCISCO EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The America’s Cup is the premier sailing event in the world. Hosting the 34th America’s Cup in San Francisco, an event reported to be the third largest in all of sports behind the Olympics and the World Cup, would make San Francisco one of only seven cities in the world to have hosted an America’s Cup. In addition to the prestige of such an event, hosting the America’s Cup would also bring significant economic benefits to the region. The Budget and Legislative Analyst wants to make it very clear that the disclosures made in this report, pertaining to the estimated costs and benefits to the City and County of San Francisco, are not for the purpose of determining whether the America’s Cup should be held in San Francisco. We clearly recognize the importance and prestige of hosting such an event in San Francisco. However, it is the responsibility of the Budget and Legislative Analyst to report the facts to the Board of Supervisors. On February 14, 2010, at the 33rd America’s Cup in Valencia, Spain, BMW Oracle, a sailing syndicate (or team) based out of the Golden Gate Yacht Club in San Francisco, defeated the defending syndicate to become the winner of the 33rd America’s Cup. Under the rules governing the America’s Cup, the winner of the America’s Cup is entitled to select the race format, date, and location of the next race.

  • James Henry Flux 1868 – 1950
    James Henry Flux 1868 – 1950 James Henry Flux was born in Cowes on the 7th February 1868 to Jacob Flux and his wife Eliza nee Whitticom. The family were Wesleyan Methodists and he was baptised in the West Cowes chapel on 26th May. He was their third child, with older siblings Thomas and Eliza. Four more children came along, Emily, Ernest, Alfred and Lillian, although poor Lillian only lived to the age of three. Jacob’s job as a yacht rigger meant he was often away at sea and Eliza brought the family up in the centre of Cowes at Market Place. In 1881 13 year old James was an errand boy, but Cowes was the centre of sailing, and also had a healthy ship-building industry. After serving his apprenticeship as a shipwright James worked at the Royal Naval Works in Woolston, Southampton, and later with the West India Company. James was one of the earliest members of the Associated Shipwrights Society joining the Southampton branch in 1889. On returning to Cowes he joined Messrs J Samuel White and Company, who were renowned shipbuilders. James did not follow his parents into non-conformity. On 26th December 1887 James married Eliza Matthews, at 27, 8 years his senior, at St Mary’s Church in Cowes. He was living in Prospect Road. Their first child, Lillian Mabel was born the following June. The family moved around, in 1891 they were living in Fellows Road and their first son James Bernard was born. In 1893 when their final child, William Ernest was born, they were living in Tennyson Road.
