A bit late on that headsail

SLOOOOOOWW spi set on A.

Wouter

On A that is

Yeah, took forever to unroll

they didn't solve the penalty?

You know,

it was quite sporting of BMWO to give them that head start at the start.

Nope, A still has the penalty turn.

Alingy is all over the place with their steering going downwind.

I'm at work and risking some trouble for streaming video...but I just can't stand it. Alinghi is toast if BMWO holds together. I think aboutg all they can hope for is for something to break on the other boat.

both boats are snaking downwind, but A. too much for my taste.

Wouter

BMWO is hauling A$$!

the tri is deeper and flying hulls consistently. 25 knots for the tri and 19 for the cat downhill...ouch. BMWO consistently deeper AND faster.

alinghi is dead slow downwind
20kts alinghi
23kts BMWO
thats disappointing after 20kts upwind

Now we will see what Alinghi BIG genaker can do!!

Doug

looks like a too flat gennaker

I thing the results are clear now

That wing looks really strange.

Is BMWO using their Laser Wind mapping system? Could knowing what the wind looks like up to a mile ahead be responsible for what they have been doing?

Is that yodeling I hear??........ No it's the fat lady!

Alinghy ! Get out the Whoomper !

Wouter

BMWO is the better boat for these conditions obviously.

I do believe A. is underpowered downwind now; the are snaking too much to lift the luff hull.


If I were A. I would pray for seastate and wind for the next racers, shake that wingsail about.
