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?

Yup

[JK]

Looks like something just went wrong and that foil wouldnt go up

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
