That is what I recall. Faster upwind and downwind, but sailed a slightly longer course (NZ sailed a little deeper downwind).

In one of the pressers, BA basically said that sometimes they purposely give up ground between the boats to put themselves in a better position on the course.

Not saying that they let ETNZ catch up in certain places but BA is picking where to go out the course sometimes at the expense of raw speed.

I can't leave work early but Bonnie wants to see it together - so I'm going dark. Phone in airplane mode and internet off...oh, the anticipation! Good luck Oracle Team USA and I hope it's a good one.

As a little hint, once you get the YouTube feed going, turn stealthy off. It will stream in 720p that way. I couldn't get it to any other way.

Getting close to the limit... ****.

I will admit it... I just barfed from nervousness. I used to do it before Tybee races too.

I kind of hope that Oracle win it because they will stay with this format, even if scaled down a bit.
However, I think the kiwis really deserve it as well for all the hard work they have put in this campaign.

Whatever the outcome, sailing is the big winner here smile

You're just no fun sometimes.


Sounds like some guys are barfing on one of the boats?
