You know,

it was quite sporting of BMWO to give them that head start at the start.

Alingy is all over the place with their steering going downwind.

Come on, don't miss the downwind leg. Now thez go just 20kts...


I'm at work and risking some trouble for streaming video...but I just can't stand it. Alinghi is toast if BMWO holds together. I think aboutg all they can hope for is for something to break on the other boat.

the tri is deeper and flying hulls consistently. 25 knots for the tri and 19 for the cat downhill...ouch. BMWO consistently deeper AND faster.

Is BMWO using their Laser Wind mapping system? Could knowing what the wind looks like up to a mile ahead be responsible for what they have been doing?

BMWO is the better boat for these conditions obviously.

I do believe A. is underpowered downwind now; the are snaking too much to lift the luff hull.


If I were A. I would pray for seastate and wind for the next racers, shake that wingsail about.
