If a man is to be obsessed by something.... I suppose a boat is as good as anything... perhaps a bit better than most.

South Carolina | what happened this time? I don't have access to watch it. This makes me nervous that these guys get to work out these bugs before getting to race Oracle...I hope Oracle's maintenance program is top notch....but, errr, didn't they just have a rudder fall off?

South Carolina | some block sheave on the wing control arm exploded. Doubt that they'll be able to fix it in time.
It wasn't the one they were messing with after yesterday's race win at the bottom of the wing was it?

Naples, FL | IF the rudder comes out of the water, it's going to pitch no matter what the angle was. I wonder if "blowing the boards" might prove effective if you start heading down the mine shaft. Not that I would know if you can do this on these monsters, but would retracting the boards when you start the pitchpole have any effect at minimizing the dive? If indeed the foils are what start generating the negative lift... Or would that just load up the wing all the more?
