PMcures are often taken and then analyzed on computer, and, during a conversation at the bar, members of one boat might be told about the capabilities of their entry by members of another boat. "They could tell you it would do this and this and this..." said Nielson. He noted that Connor "trained far awyay so nobody could see wbat be had." Racing often took 'place in wind speeds of 25 ta 35 knots. ' . "The whole tinia down there it was extremely windy," said Nielson, noting that waves came in short intervals and were high and choppy. "The boat would go into the wavas and it would be bamn, bani, bam!" ha recalled. Canada II performed wall on the comparatively rare occasions when winds were five ta, six knots. Boats are designed ta achieve a maximum hull speed of 12 or 13 knots. As incredible as it seems, Nielson noted, the French Kiss boat managed to reach a speed of, 21 knots while sailing downwind one day, by planing on waves. And on another occasion, Canada II, thanks to speed and "twave configurtion," was able ta have one crew member water ski into the harbor. Nielson said all boats were "very, very close in speed," with advantage mostly gained when one boat could get ahead to control the speed of 'the other boat. He cited several near misses, by inches, of boats and sbowed one collision - confirmed during, one protest'by'a picture of an angry crew member reacting toaa bump. Other pictures sbowed crew members dangling in' the. air, holding fast to a lina, and- another being pullad in the water, hanging on to the Uine of a new spinnaker going up as the boat sailed. Nielson' said computer tecbnology, now used extensively in boat design, will also play an increasing role in actual racing' since "computers can work faster."ý As an. example, le said changes in -speed in laser racing are easily detected but "take time" to notice in 12-metre. "You still use a lot talents from dinghy days," said Nielson. "But you need these instruments'ta some degree ta race." He admitted that "a lot of mistakes were made", with Canadas entries in the' America's Cup races of 1983 -and 1987, but that the experience gained will only help with future entries. "Ail that will ba evaluated now for next time," ha said, pointing out, for exaniple, that a design teain, rather than a few people, will be involved. Witb a long-rangé plan, Se said, "Canada sbould do very wel in the future." Nielson, who is employed in the' family insurance business while continuing to work With' various sailing clubs, says there is sonie uncertainty- about theý future of 12-metre racing after the Supreme Court 'decision in New York'that will allow bigger boats. One U.S. group wants to race'a 90-ft. (length at the water line) sailing craft, a move opposed by Connor for the 1991 America s Cup. Nielson noted that Connor bas threatened to .-respond by racing a 60-ft. catamaran (boat .Witb twohulîs). " Heil probably win," said Nielson. He «said such changes will likely mean a change in the rules "to. some extent" in the Cu p séries.
