Oracle demolished ETNZ on the first start... ETNZ hitting 17 three separate times and getting two penalties.
The second start ETNZ won, they led by 100m at the leward gate and Oracle passed them to windward before they were 1/3rd up the upwind leg.

Posts: 4,118 Northfield Mn Could Oracle have been sandbagging the first races? If not their progress if fenomenal!
Could be? There's talk on SA of the whole thing being rigged, while I doubt it, I also don't discount it as being a possibility.
I'm boatless.

Posts: 4,118 Northfield Mn I don't think you sandbag to one race from elimination. Anything could cause you to lose one race even if you had a dominating boat.
You're assuming that New Zealand isn't in on it. When there is this level of people involved, you're talking about the people who effect government, policies, and borders. A silly sailboat race to keep some of the Subjects entertained is nothing.
I'm boatless.

I think I heard up to 35knots predicted. Sounds like there could easily be no racing tomorrow.
