Doesn't look like either of these boat could handle much rougher water though. Hard to tell what the sea state was just because of the massive size of the boat throwing off perpective, but BMWO was really twisting, and Alinghi was really pitching going to weather. Makes me wonder how long they'd last in much more wind.
I think BMWO could have raced in more for sure... look at the conditions that they've tested that boat in... definitely more than they sailed in yesterday.
