Will oracle undo some of their upgrades/changes now?
Sounds like they pretty much have an uncontrollable boat.
A lot faster but harder to sail and keep stable. If they hadn't fucked up the start and or come off the foils they probably would have cleaned us up.
Sounds like they are running a V8 engine in a Toyota Vitz body, and run by a pretty clueless crew -

@Kirwan well, Spithills presser indicates he hasn't dreamed it's over, although his body language and face makes you think he is worried...
now rumours Larry is gonna pull him from tomorrow too.

Allegedly Coutts tried to change skippers months ago and LE over-ruled him but Spithill has said he will step down for tomorrow if that's what's needed.
I know what happened in SF still has nerves jangling but last time round post their changes Oracle were much the faster boat. That is not true now. At best Oracle are matching our speed and have sacrificed stability and maneuverability to get there.
I simply can't see OUSA winning 6 before we win 1 - The dream is over for Ellison Coutts and Spithill

Which shows how much of a genius Coutts is at this game.
He'll be doing the big "Larry! What did I say?"

I'm assuming the Victory Parade down queen street was organised after 4 wins in a row?

Jeez Mr Meat, we may all be thinking it but no need to put it into print!
If I've jinxed us I will cop whatever punishment the collective wisdom[sic] of the Fern deems appropriate

You should be careful what you write @dogmeat, there are some sick fucks on this forum.

Pah - knowing he has a rocketship and intent on (i) building the legend of Jimmy Spittall; and (ii) the utter and eternal destruction of Team NZ and Grant Dalton, Spittall has gifted the rookie Burling a 6-1 lead knowing he can beat him with both hands tied behind his back.
TAB has TNZ at $1.03 and Oracle at $10.
Get on it, I say. At 6-3 this time tomorrow, you'll be wishing you were with me.

All makes sense now why they changed the rules from the skipper appearing at press conferences to the helmsman.
Slingsby will take over tomorrow and then face the music should they lose. Spithill will be nowhere to be found. Classic.
