@nzzp Start advantage. The British were late into the start box because they had a battery issue.
The British boat is faster downwind but notably was weaker than Team New Zealand in that first race upwind.
They are going to need to improve their start and their upwind performance if they are to seize the Auld Mug.
Numbers from Race One suggest there is not much between these two boats:
Race 2 underway.
Team GB ahead on leg 2.
Team GB 9 seconds ahead through Gate 2.
Team NZ now ahead.
Super tight race.
Nothing in this.
Team NZ lead at Gate 3 by 14 seconds.
British team much faster on Leg 4.
NZ lead has gone. Nothing in this.
Very light winds.
Team NZ establishing a small lead.
Team NZ four seconds ahead at half way. This is tense.
GB take the lead.
NZ retake the lead.
NZ 200m ahead.
Lead up to 250m.
NZ lead through Gate 5.
