@jk they said the village capacity was 5500. Looked more like 15,000!

I've come back inside at home to watch it as the beers colder

looks like Burling got the start he wanted, first blood

Good luck ETNZ.

Just love how close these two boats are compared to all the LV races we saw before

[Kiwiwomble]

@jk i think the conditions too, right favoured as they started and then left at the top

A mate sent some speed graphs today - TNZ were faster downwind in heaveir winds. Looking like it now

Not sure it relates to what I said but anyway... GO ETNZ!!

[Kiwiwomble]

@jk i just meant the conditions helped keep them close over the first leg, one had a lift and then the other got one

Yeah still not relevant. I was talking about all LV races before. Not the AC races (ie between these two) which for the majority have been pretty tight.

The boat just seems so efficient thru the water

[Luigi]

@jk just gets up so much quicker

[sparky]

Looking good.

[Crucial]

Pity we never got to see them racing full blast.
