Ah well, only one race today, but it was just about everything you would want from a race– close racing, mostly within 100 meters, speeds over 40 knots, lead changes, and a come-from-behind victory!

I’ve been watching America’s Cup races as long as they’ve been televised, and that was one of the best races I’ve ever seen.

One of the few moments of flight today

Still on 3-3, with Sunday’s racing cancelled for lack of wind.

After 4 races it’s tied 2-2. With all the talk about NZ supposedly having a faster boat it actually has all depended on tactics in the minute before and the minute after the start: Whichever boat ekes out an advantage there has gone on to win every race. And it’s always been the boat with port-tack entry.

All those people who predicted sweeps or 7-2: yeah, not so much. Can’t wait to see the rest of it.
