If you think yesterday's race was the best ever, wait for the last one. With nothing to lose on either side, I'm expecting a full-on knife fight. It's going to be really hard to stick to a "game plan."

I bet it's a clean start. These guys are showing incredible sportsmanship given the fire in their bellies. I'm proud to be a sailor with these guys around.
Compare those guys to this nightmare of public relations the last time a multihull was in the cup: http://youtu.be/-h7pKHnZs1g?t=31s
I'm a little worried about JS. He can sometimes handle the wheel aggressively when the adrenalin gets pumpin'. He lost a couple hundred meters here when this happened. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_q1Tfb7maQ&feature=player_detailpage#t=4536 If it's close racing at speed, I hope he handles the wheel like a volquartsen trigger.
Yeah, but NZ gave them a pump-fake luff...just enough. The LAST thing JS wants to do there is get a penalty so a little porpoising is not too much of an over-reaction.
