Any ideas on why Oracle added 2.5kgs to the spinpole support strut? I light air I can see some advantage of having extra weight up front, but I cant see how such a small amount would make any difference to performance (its 0.002% of the total weight!)
5 lbs makes no sense at all. I don't care where it was placed. It didn't change the performance of the boat. The rules are the rules though. I think the people here realize that.
I can think of only three things it could be, cheating, stupidity or sabotage. I'm hoping it's the last one.
