You can now get first hand experience of the racing in the Final of the Louis Vuitton Cup with this set of videos shot from the stern mounted camera on the AC75s.

The camera location is clearly shown in the image above.

Below we have the set of videos from Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli and INEOS Britannia along with the full race video. There's also a link to Virtual Eye, so you can easily see the distances and other metrics associated with the racing.

If you have three or four computers or screens, you can synchronize the videos and see all three play simultaneously. Turn the main commentary volume down and hear the cyclors grinding away and the what the crews are saying on board. You can also get a very good idea of what it is like to be on the deck of an AC75, and see how quickly legs pass and marks appear when sailing at 40kts upwind and close to 50kts downwind.

You can appreciate how quickly the crews have to think, and position the AC75 on the race course.

Or, you can line up both AC75s on Leg 3 of Race 2 and see how the crews handled the arm-wrestle as Luna Rossa went into High-Mode and cut the corner on INEOS Britannia.

If running multiple screens it is easy to sycnchronise at the start or on a mark rounding - just hit pause and wait for the other screens to catch up.
