You saw what dropping down off the foils for just a couple seconds did to LR yesterday. That's all it takes.

They may still be 'finding speed' but as mentioned earlier, I think the team that is most consistant will be the team ahead. Since ETNZ has now had some real racing practice, under real pressure, I think they'll be more consistant with their boat handling in the finals.

Has anyone been able to 'spy' on Oracle, see what kind of speeds they are doing, upwind and down? And how many perfect foil to foil gybes have they been able to pull off?

And Jay, I wish you would stop following me around with a camera when I go to the beach!
