After watching 3 & 4 (which kept me on the edge of my seat), I would have figured JK and DB would have both known that:
1) tactics are slow (yes, it's a match race... but still)
2) pinching is slow death
3) tacks in multis are slow (whether it's slower than the current drag... not sure)

The drive over the top strategy at the start seems to work best, but R4 showed what I thought was a good hook by JS. But it probably only worked because Barker screwed something up there...

And I loved the "colorful metaphore" Spithill barked out when they screwed the pooch on that one gybe (when the board raised). They even left it on the replay...

Reminds me of Spongebob "Sailor Mouth" episode...
