that different mainsail is kicking butt on Alinghi! (or they've redlined their ballast water). We have a race! It will be interesting to see them get back into the same breeze.

That penalty was school boy. Basics of match racing, before the warning flag for entry, don't go between start boat and pin. Must stay on your side. They have judge you on vertical lines from each start mark Being between is just stupid.

But why wasn't Peyron steering the first race???

Scoob,

Looking at the plots on the Sky sports it looks like A is pointing higher a bit; but speeds appear to be similar and so the layline will NOT be the same for both boats; it COULD mean A is in fact a bit more ahead

They say it is a technical or measurement protest. Who know. Now we will see a drag race. If the pitching keeps up Alinghi may pitchpole.

The small jib is hurting Alinghi. I am interested in seeing what the protest is. Oracle boat speed is killing them. 4 knots is huge!!!
