ETNZ did come out and hammer them. They won the start, were ahead to the first mark, maintained the lead all the way down the first run, then they allowed Oracle to split on leg 3, again, just like yesterday, and they got passed, again, just like yesterday (absent the leebow tack).

I wonder if they wish they'd have tacked, gone left to cover, much earlier in that leg.

Oracle clearly had better speed upwind though, so over the length of the full leg it may not have mattered if they had tacked to cover earlier. Truly amazing change to the Oracle boat/crew/sailing style, that they could change their early weakness on leg 3, to their strength.
