Posts: 2,490 On the Water | In the interview with BT Sports, Iain Percy just stated that the button to control foil rake was stuck on "max positive rake".
Unfortunately schitty that NBCSN doesn't cover any of these little details. . . .

Unfortunately schitty that NBCSN doesn't cover any of these little details. . . . NBC totally sucks. We're forced to listen to old-school commentators opining about their Glory days when 0.1 knot of boatspeed mattered. I have tons of respect for Kenny and Cayard, but they're being put into a position where they can only lose. How about never comparing races in these boats to anything prior, ever again? That would be a good start. Mike | | | Re: 35th America's Cup

Dave Reed's final statement/question was extremely awkward: "It's pretty well known that everybody that's exited so far has gone out to support the defender in any way they can to prevent a Kiwi eventual victory..." WTF????? Mike | | | Re: 35th America's Cup

Not good...
Not that it matters, but the RC radioed "Clear start" after the start, then called the penalty.
Wow, NZL going right upwind, way ahead, SWE split at the first leeward gate.
