I'd love to see BMW draw a foul off Alinghi at the start but i'm not so sure how much it would hurt to have to do 1 penalty turn on these boats! Could probably make that up in seconds of sailing.

Speed and pointing appears balanced between both boats

Fair racing, and a balanced start. Alighy 400 mtr ahead but a penalty down

Commentars making blunders. Alinghy has been flying a hull consistantly despite their comments. Have to get better specs baby

BWMO, as a tri, just have to heel over further to lift the centre hull clear, A doesn't.

A is riding with hull just out of water showing great skill.

BMWO is overtaking A. It has a pointing advantage.

open your eyes, BMWO is now in front. BMWO is faster upwind. Same speed but points higher

I really don't agree here.

They are kissing the surface just like you want.

Appart from the time BMWO was overtaking then they were pinching probably for tactical reasons.
