The AC75s are complicated boats with flaps on the foils and all the hydraulics. Seems stupid to have guys cranking the whole race to pump up the hydraulic pressure. What are all the buttons on the wheel? Who operates the foil arms? Who changes the trim on the foil flaps? I think much of it including the running backstays are computer controlled. That may be why the runner wasn't released. Not sure.
