could be 5000m distance if BMWO would like to, I guess

Sh!T ! And I missed it.

What did he say !

Hands down to BMWO, a win with class and margin, got to respect that deeply.

So the next AC will be back on the mono's right.....

or

Can we now get the Tornado back in the big O, please ?!

Wouter

No, there is almost no tacking so there will be complains about having the tactical aspect removed. Multis are bad for sailing, did you not know that?

Sorry, I forgot to factor in that tid-bit!

I guess having lost, no need for the circle

did I miss A take the penalty?

here comes their round !

ok, there it is!

Yes; they should still do it; otherwise DNF.

If they finish; then BMW loose the next then it goes down to the final race. If both boats failed on final race A could win with a 1st and 2nd vs 1st and DNF

Good for them for taking the penalty turn! Very sportsmen like.

oop, maybe not

Does that count if they cross the line then turn? That doesn't make sense to me.

Now they're saying A screwed up the finish, and is having to go back! Sunday should be interesting.

If they could have this kind of coverage for the Olympics, I would probably be glued to the TV or computer for the sailing event. (or at least for the catamarans) I think even non-sailors would find it exciting.

wahhhooo

that was awesome to watch!

Race 1 in the books.

Now they'll want to put a tri in the Olympics?? Much faster than a cat.

They did.

We just saw history made.

Too bad about the irons at the start for Spithill. Other than that a perfect race. Though I wanted him to tack sooner for that first tack. I was afraid he was overshooting the layline. I guess they are smarter than me.
Though if they would have got a big lift they would have lost most of their lead. Certainly never want to open the door to your competition.
