I thought after rounding mark 2 with a 12 second lead, Oracle should have tacked just a little sooner, to put themselves directly above ETNZ, or at least a little closer to them. At least they didn't do the 180 slam tack they did on Tuesday, when they went from about 40 knots to 6, while trying to do a complete 180 degree turn! Today they carried on a little too long before tacking back to cover.

Still, it might not have mattered in the end, it's obvious ETNZ is faster upwind and tacks better, so a 12 second lead at the bottom mark is not enough for Oracle to survive leg 3.
