It seems no one broke any rules after all. Now back to the racing. Right hand advantage seems to be a key factor when the the conditions are stable

I suppose if there was a major problem ,and the sail had to come down quickly not being able to drop it could be dangerous

Rules are also stupid. It's not like the mainsail droppability affects the boat speed and it's a sailing race not a health and safety competition. |

This protest will be interesting , a safety issue, will it cost Alinghi a race? My cousin lost a regatta because he didn't have a radio on board after winning it . I guess rules are rules . |

So 2 all, Brad kept a lot closer tabs on Dean today. This may go all the way. That means there must be a race on Sunday.

What a finish for New Zealand. Why on earth did Brad allow a 1300m seperation to develop? Picture is of the back up boat going out on Sunday |

Seems that SUI 100 is slighly faster than NZL 92, but ETNZ are sailing the boat better. It was noticable that the swiss spinnaker colapsed more on the gybes. I had hoped for a close match and I think we've got one. The atmosphere in Valencia was brilliant.
