Spithill's relief as Oracle sails again
Relieved Australian skipper James Spithill declared America's Cup champion Team Oracle USA's catamaran a "much better boat" on its return to the water more than three months after a spectacular capsize.
"I tell you what, mate, I've been looking forward to this day for a long time," said Spithill after the first sea trial in 1012 knots winds on San Francisco Bay.
The 22metre catamaran was severely damaged in a capsize on the Bay on October 16, tumbling stern over bow. The hightech, 40metre wing sail was destroyed and Oracle had to wait for a new one to arrive by ship from New Zealand.
Oracle sailed for about three hours on Monday with a full crew of sailors plus some engineers.
"It really was one of the best days we've had in a long time," said Spithill, who skippered Oracle to a tworace sweep of Alinghi of Switzerland three years ago off Valencia, Spain, to bring the oldest trophy in international sports to San Francisco.
"Essentially we launched a new boat. We made a lot of modifications, so we were all a bit anxious because you don't know how long it takes to get a boat like this up to speed. You can tell it's an improvement, no doubt about it.
"I'm confident we've got a much better boat, a much better product," he said.
Spithill said there was some apprehension about taking the big, powerful boat back onto the water, "but at the end of the day there were a lot of smiles at the base."
Spithill and syndicate CEO Russell Coutts, a fourtime America's Cup winner, don't think the capsize will be a big setback.
"We have to be careful to not do too much," Spithill said. "It's not who sails the most, it's who gets it right, with quality and efficiency. People remember who holds the trophy, not who sailed the most days."
The Louis Vuitton Cup for challengers starts on July 4 on San Francisco Bay,[url=http://www.floware.fr]www.floware.fr[/url], with the winner facing Oracle in the 34th America's Cup beginning on September 7.
"Provided we don't get another setback like that, we'll be in good shape," Coutts said.
Oracle is building another boat at its San Francisco base and is having another wing sail built in New Zealand.
Coutts and Spithill said there's still the possibility for mayhem in the big boats, but that the syndicate learned from the capsize.
"We responded to the capsize about as poorly as we could," Coutts said.
"There were a number of mistakes that caused much more significant damage. We should never have ended up outside the bridge, for example, in the big waves.
"There were a series of mistakes that led to that. I think it's unlikely we'd have that much damage again. We'll be better prepared if something happens. By the same token, we could get a rigging failure and the wing could catastrophically break as well."
