New bigger NZ rudder seems to be working very well.
-
And Team NZ win Race 2 to take a 2-0 lead......
-
A nearly perfect performance by Team NZ today, but the British boat is fast. A long way to go.
-
Team NZ tested there in a tight race but held their nerve and won by 27 seconds. But that doesn't tell the whole story of a tough race that could have gone either way.
-
Ineos 0-2, but they have suggested that they are going to be competitive.
-
Great racing. Well done to both teams!
Two more races scheduled for tomorrow with NZ leading 2-0 in the race to 7 and the Auld Mug.
-
First race was a clear trouncing. Second race was more competitive but we seemed to read the conditions better.
These boats are incredible. 35 knots in 8 knots of wind. It’s great watching and the races are a good time too.
Ainslie too good for the Brit’s to not bounce back.
-
Team NZ win race 3 after the British receive a penalty.
3-0!
-
52 seconds the difference that time.

The winds are too low so Race 4 is postponed until tomorrow.

That commentator is the worst thing about the coverage.
-
yeah
i thought the commentator asked a pretty stupid question
cant remember the question exactly, but remember thinking that that was a clown question
not surprised ainslie called him a piston wristed gibbon . . . i would have too
ainslie under pressure tho . . . i think the kiwis are actually out sailing him . . . and as maybe the best sailer of all time . . . that's gotta shit ya
been only one overtake so far (kiwis)

@sparky said in Americas cup:
The average speed of the two boats is similar, but Team NZ are much more efficient and careful in their movements.
VMG means the boat is sailing to the mark better. If the average speed is even but the NZ boat can sail a better VMG that can mean that the NZ boat performs better. It’s not all about outright speed
