It is funny to think that a 1 minute delta between winner and loser is a total beat-down. What short attention span I have now...


The irony here, of course, is that those were two lappers.

The Moth guys have figured it out, we just need to adapt it to our steering system. Looks like Frank Camas has it figured out on that Flying Phantom too. Anyone know what he's using on his rudders for elevator controls?

Here's something easier, for you 'over 50' guys. A guy on my lake has one, I've seen him do some flips, but not over my dock...yet!

Looks like Oracle's strategy is to foil upwind as much as possible.
They where doing 33.5kts upwind just now, insane.

The data shows the left upwind as faster and higher.

The difference between Oracle the first race and today is like night and day, especially upwind.
Although I think they won this race at the start.

31-second win for Oracle!!!

I was ready to throw my phone across the room when ETNZ took the bottom left of the start box, but Jimmy finally reached down, grabbed a set, and took charge! Best start of the regatta!!!
