OK, back to my question about tactics; why did Alinghi not stick it to BMWO when they had the chance, at the cross going up to the pin? I would have made them tack, then pushed them waaayyy out past the layline, then tacked and ran away to the pin.
That's a good question. I'm not sure Alinghi could have forced BMWO to tack, but she could have tried to ride close and attmpted to draw an offsetting penalty.
I'm not a match racing expert, but it sure seemed like BMWO had a much better understanding of match racing tactics than Alinghi.
