[antipodean]

Classy from Sir Ben Ainslie

[sparky]

Bloody well done by Team New Zealand. Such a professional, skilful and ruthless outfit. Great stuff!

[sparky]

37 seconds was the difference at the end of Race 9.

[MajorRage]

Brilliant! Time in race 9 irrelevant as Ineos had no choice but to roll the dice on the opposite side.

Just fantastic. Awesome!!

Credit to ineos. They did everything, but you're limited in a slightly slower boat

The improvements they made in their boat throughout the campaign was impressive.

They produced a dog of a boat at the last AC regatta And at the start of this one it didn’t look much better!

You get the feeling they will be stronger for the next one.

Outstanding campaign by ETNZ. They were favoured at the start of the tournament and never looked anything but the best yacht in the regatta.

Where will it be held next?

I'll send this thread to their PR team. They'll be really appreciative of your message, sparky. 🙏

Absolutely brilliant by the lads. Burling and co getting the job done once again. Hard to see them losing it for a while yet.

I'm not so sure. Ineos and the Italians were excellent teams this time. If either of them have a better boat than our lot next time, we'll be in trouble.

spot on. Fastest boat wins the comp.

We got beaten at the start today, but just sailed away upwind. You can't do much about that. And honestly, AmCup is as much about the boat tech as it is about the sailing these days.

Was reflecting - TNZ were the innovators - with the foiling initially, then with teh cyclors. Wonder what will be next!
