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.

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

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

Should've known there'd be a Black Craps-era reason behind it

[canefan]

Prada down now. AC organisers have shortened the race to 5 legs WTF?

[Donsteppa]

So Luna Rossa has splashed down, but we've lost the runway of the 6th leg, which has just been removed...
