The physics and technology behind SailGP’s F50s ⚡️🌊

Precision-engineered hydraulic wingsails. Titanium T-foils that lift the boat clear of the water. A six-person crew working in perfect sync.

These aren’t leisure sailboats, they’re high-powered racing machines hitting 100+ kph and competing in waterfront stadium races around the world.

Buy Now, Pay Later – But for the NFL 💳🏈

Some NFL teams are using void years to push player payments further down the road—a creative contract strategy the Eagles have mastered, with Jalen Hurts’ deal being the most well-known example.

It’s basically buying players on credit and dealing with the cost later—which certainly worked last year. What do you think of this approach? Smart cap management or future trouble? 🤔

The data behind the Torpedo Bat ⚾️📊

Torpedo bats in MLB are the talk of the town to start the season. The new shape shifts weight toward the sweet spot, helping hitters generate more power where it matters.

@thebpl_com develops custom bats for top MLB hitters and gave us data from their lab comparing exit velocity along the barrel for traditional vs torpedo bats. The numbers show that traditional bats generate 2–3% more power at the very end, but torpedo bats produce 5–7% more power closer to the handle, right where many hitters make contact.

They’re not for everyone, though. Players with tight, consistent contact zones benefit most, while those with varied patterns may prefer traditional barrels and in the future, we could see players switch bats depending on the pitcher, like golfers switching clubs.

Across a full season, that added power can mean a few more hits, a few more foul tips extending counts, a few more runs, and potentially a few more wins.

✈️⛳️ Augusta, Georgia, has one of the most interesting tourism markets in the country.

Every April, The Masters takes over this quiet Southern city. It’s a small town, far from major airports… yet in one week, Augusta becomes an aviation hotspot, handling 292 private jets in one day in 2024 as people descend on the small regional airport.

But it’s not just the skies. The housing market also spikes. With data from AirDNA you we can see short-term rental listings double and prices triple, with Masters week accounting for 27% of the yearly direct revenue from short-term rentals.

In cycling, saving energy is everything 🔋🚴

Where a rider sits in the peloton can drastically affect how much wind resistance, or drag, they face. Here’s a quick look at drag compared to riding solo:

    •    Lead rider: 86%
    •    Front edge: 61%
    •    Center middle: 14%
    •    Rear edge: 34%
    •    Rear middle: 5%

With less drag, riders can maintain speed using far less effort.

In fact, at the back-middle of a peloton going 30 mph, a rider might only need to pedal hard enough to go 7 mph to keep up.

Over a 4-hour stage, conserving energy like this can be the difference between surviving the race or winning it.

Data note:
Based on simulations from the Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics (link in bio), using a perfectly spaced diamond-shaped peloton. Equivalent solo speeds are calculated, not measured. Actual race pelotons vary, so drag reductions may differ.
