Wow. Either NZ has forgotten how to sail or O has really upped their game.

Spithill has pulled a major headbutt on Barker. Not just on the start but in his head.

There was a Dutch TV interview with Simeon Tienpont where he mentioned that they are very strong physically and that is helping them at this point of the regatta.
Kiwis always look out of breath somehow, could it be that their boat just requires more power since everything is done hydraulically?

I would like to see that again...I'm not convinced that NZ had time an opportunity there based on the short bit I saw...They did leave themselves incredibly vulnerable by being so early to the line but they shouldn't be required to anticipate Oracle's luff until it happens.

Wow. Unreal start. I totally gave up on Oracle until that hook. Up to that point, NZ was owning the box. Wow...
