Very exciting finish of the fleet race, ETNZ led from the gun to the third windward gate. They split the gate, with Spithill rounding us and heading away from shore. USS caught some huge puffs on the way downwind to the final turning mark for the reaching finish in front of the fort.

ETNZ timed their final gybe poorly, and USS sailed through their lee to take the lead and the race.

It was also reported that ETNZ damaged their dagger, but the boat wasn't pulled. This was actually the first night all week that the crane wasn't being used (which sort of stinks for the spectators, as they lift the boats over the spectator walkway to get them in and out, giving folks the best views of the boats).

As an aside, there were two Red Bull wing panels in the tent, and a third panel was having some grinding work done, which means that ETNZ was able to salvage most of their old wing.
