but to be honest the C=Class champ's may as well be on the radio for all the good the footage is.

I'm hoping there will be good edited footage available of the boats - they really are amazing machines.

I wonder if we'll see the technology used for the AC minutuarise and cheapen to the point the likes of the C-Class lot can afford to use it? The future surely has to be low cost camera drones?

This is such a good race tonight, when ETNZ tacked to lee-bow and OTUSA foiled over the top of them.... I was a sceptic, but no longer, these guys have really learned how to get these things round the course to the point where there is real, actual match racing happening

What the hell changed for NZL? Did they give themselves a fright when they almost capsized? Oracle have found a serious turn of speed everywhere - hell, going from 150+ meters down to 1000+ meters up ... How is that even possible!! We know Ainslie "had nothing to do" with the weight packs found on the 40 ... but have the boats been remeasured since day 1? What they pulled at that 1st start today ... taking the rules to the letter, but surely they breached the preventions of collisions at sea by not avoiding contact? Looking forward to tomorrows racing though .. taking all bets! Edited by Villan - 24 Sep 13 at 10:44pm |

Seems like I was wrong about the boat speed being roughly even - just nowhere near. Like trying to race a hobie cat against a Tornado.
