I had to miss work today due to no day care, after missing work all week due to snow. Felt bad about missing work, but no more!
That was simply the coolest AC match I've ever seen. I think that may be the coolest sailing footage ever.
Overall - I think BMWO has a better knowledge of their boat. It took A too long to change modes and shift gears. A looks to be a bit more maneuverable, and showed good speed once in the groove. Either the grove is too hard to keep, or the crew doesn't have it all dialed in. Watching the mark rounding and the first part of the downwind leg pretty much summed that up.
If A gets things figured out they have a chance. A tacking duel would suit them well. If today is an indication, BMWO has the sailing and teamwork advantage regardless of the boats.
Good thing this will only last for three racing days max, I'd end up getting fired if it lasted longer!
