America's Cup analyst Tom Morris (Mozzy Sails) looks at two aspects of the AC75 developments - the rigs - and visits North Sails and Southern Spars facilities in UK.

Next Mozzy and Rob take a deep dive in to America's Cup sail control. With foil design seemingly converging, sail control systems could decide this Cup. They look at the new jib traveller systems and how you can control the jib shape with variety of sheeting arrangements. They also look at the mainsheet systems and whether sails should be sheeted individually.
