Team Oracle tacks look more like mono hull tacks vs NZ. They slam the brakes on most tacks by turning so fast. Jibes looks good though.


Perhaps loosing (Dirk DeRidder?) as their wing trimmer has hurt Oracle more than anyone is talking about?

Seems they are always 'slower' going upwind, and perhaps Ashby's trimming on ETNZ's wing is why they are always faster upwind?

Oh, and Ding, I just registered for Wildcat, but with that goofy registration site you've got, it took me 30 minutes to reset my password and fix my boat name!
