Too cool. They are going to get handled but I'm pulling for them. Lot of blood, sweat, and tears getting that boat ready to sail.


Job well done Team Artemis....

Good stuff. So Oracle hints that their jib if flat enough to assist the wing.

I've been watching virtual eye on dual screens with the live feed. I like the overhead view which we seem to get less of with the live video. Really shows their downwind angles, as well as the upwind from a great perspective.

Is there a rule against humiliating a competitor?
Delta of 7:20, poor guys aboard LR looked devastated.

Here is the replay. The live broadcast missed the 30 seconds before the start, and it's missing on the replay also. Oh well.

Again, LR sailed a longer course upwind. Waiting on the stats.

Wow, TNZ certainly is kicking some LR butt. I'll bet Larry is skeerd now! If not, he should be!

At almost no time, did I see LR posting a faster speed than TNZ. TNZ seemed to be going downwind at around 38, while LR was around 33-35. It was closer upwind, only about 1-2kt diff. but still slower, all the time.

Anyone hear why was LR so late at the start?

And Philip, thanks for all the links, great stuff!

and LR sailed a longer course.

they were late because they were stuck in the muck. Some have said it might have screwed up the foils and made them slow.

Today's point officially advances NZ to the LV finals, as if that is a surprise.
