You arn't a MAGA conspiracy theorist are you? ;-) I dont think there is any evidence for sandbagging. And even if there was - does anyone really care? Its all part of the AC drama anyway. Lets not pin too much on the results of just 1 day. Lets see what tomorrow brings. Rooting for Ben and the team what ever happens. |

Great turn around particularly as they had a smaller jib. They still have to show what they can do when it’s light. Watched both races now, fantastic boats but not very interesting after the start, the commentators sounded bored, not sure what they are going say going forward now the ‘wow, different boat... ‘ is done

Speed picked up now they appear to have got rid of that annoying nodding.

I'm doing a bit of a boat by boat review of team roles aboard the AC boats. There's quite a difference in how they are crewed. A really interesting insight in to team ethos!
INEOS often only have 6 grinding, compared to 8 on the other boats. Freeing up more personal for afterguard duties. |

I'm quite surprised just how close the other 3 boats are so far - almost decent racing at times
The AC organisers need to stop changing the rules/boats each event - it just leads to one team being very good, a few being ok and some being way off the pace No doubt some is down to the designers but there's got to be a degree of luck too |

I'm sure there have been many evil capitalists paying for AC boats. Not sure who else could afford to. This particular one sticks in my craw.
