10 race scenario - my guess is that after a couple of races the A5 crew would be more in tune with the boat and things would even out a bit, with the overall advantage over 10 still to BOR.
Two considerations,
First, How long do you think it would take to get in a 10 race series? Given that it took a week to get off just one race, that might be a three month proposition.
Second, do you think either one or both of those boats really has TEN races of durability built in to them ? I don't.
Just something to think about.
It WAS fun to watch, and I am really looking forward to seeing them match up on a reaching leg.

All those things you state be true. I was just responding to the posed 10 race question somebody else had.
