Who had the starting side advantage?

they did. Big second race coming up

Might be the turning point

[Machpants]

3 to 5 knots faster throughout

[Canes4life]

Bloody well sailed. How big is that race going to be towards the outcome of the A Cup. Make it 5-3 boys.

[Bovidae]

3 wins in a row for the starboard entry boat.

[Donsteppa]

That was a good race to tune into

[JK]

How good were the first few legs with it nice n close.

[Kiwiwomble]

i got a call just before the start, but saw we were behind and then when i checked back we were in front, have actually gone back to watch it happen in real time, that was fun!

[Donsteppa]

Bugger, we need to pass again.

[Donsteppa]

Well that's a giant FUBAR...

[Bovidae]

Good and bad in the space of a few seconds.

[Stag]

Burling is unbeatable on the course and forgettable at the start. Doesn’t seem like that is going to change any time soon, very frustrating.

[canefan]

Bugger, I thought we were about to fly past them. LR escape

[JK]

FFS

[Donsteppa]

Team NZ don't sail much middle water between brilliant and hapless...

[Frank]

So basically our boat is faster provided we don't fuck things up- is that for sure?

Comms reckon we lost wind and then we tried to turn up the course to get speed back too late. Wind dropped compared to race 1

[Kiwiwomble]

So exciting, then it all went wrong. Jimmy must have been shitting himself. Lester says we picked the wrong gib too
