What's up with that screecher? That big loose rag way up there certainly didn't help keep the rudders in the water. Where's the jib on an apparantly quartering breeze? Center of effort well aft, nothing in front to help pull the bow up and forward-maybe a wind shift. Notice the boat to port with the jib, scooting off after the windward mark. No problems there. Finally, wish I had just the few seconds previous...I wonder if Alinghi's helmsman was late to round up...then got caught in a nice fresh breeze after Holmatro escaped a similar fate. Big oopsie! Oh La la!
