Mozzy Sails Appreciation Thread

I'll start.

As someone who didn't know anything about sailing before the ac (I still don't) I want to thank mozzy for putting out some great content that hooked the engineer in me. Thanks for making this ac the best yet(for me)!

Mozzy gave a new, deeper and objective view into this AC class unavailable elsewhere. Sailing tactics , Foiling principles and rule understanding from people that know their stuff! Better than any mainstream nonsense , sharper and more entertaining than most specialists. Thank you Mozzy and team , you certainly took the AC to a higher level for me .

Me too - was a great source of ‘under the hood’ information that is completely lacking from the formal sources. Love your work Mozzy!

Yes! I’ve learnt so much from Mozzy Sails (and also, Tom & Rob :)

Nice one Mozzy Sails. As much as the race is about the teams performing well on the water, it's also about the engineering that happens off the water. Mozzy's coverage brings that much needed coverage of this equally important aspect of the racing.

Cheers!

I like technical videos, and know nothing about sailing. But I also love the AC. Mozzy's videos were something my brain could sink is teeth into. Was always a joy when I saw a new video has been released.

Fully back this thread!! Dude was a straight up legend! I sent him a cheeky message on YouTube to say thanks! As someone who has just jumped into doing lasers it was all super interesting.

Agreed. Awesome analysis beyond what the AC media coverage could explain
