I need a wing! Might be able to catch that unny looking blue boat that visits from the outerbanks.

Would be really cool to see that wing on the A. After winning, if it were me I might offer it to them. Jobson just said race coming up, they are taking a break to get ready.

Anyone care to guess how much lead A need to take the pen?

2 minutes? Also; will they take it before the windward mark; or will they try and get one back?

Remember it's a GYBE before the WW or a tack at the end.

That penalty was just stupid !

Who was that guy that said A. lost alot through bad boat handling. I agree with him on friday and it looks like that is the right judgement today.

Ernesto of the helm and we have a race !

A. is extending the lead !

Go Loick ! (Famous ORMA skipper and Round the World cat/tri record attempts)

They are far apart for the wind to be different winds.

True but remember how much margin BMWO had in race 1 ; how much difference in wind speed and direction do you think A. need to extend their lead to over 400 mtr when 600 mtr behind at the start ?

I think A. is handling their boat better as well. Good choice to go for the small jib and not loose to much height (as the did with the Genoa)

The rest is tactics and luck with weather but that is part of the sail boat race right ?

I'm hoping for a 3rd race ! (against the odds, I admit)
