| Oh no, SWE with some gear problems early in the race (parts flying off, stuffing the boat in too much). They're still going, but JPN is about half a leg ahead now.

South Carolina | good lord these guys barely have control of these boats. If you watch the boat's motion through the water vs. the steering inputs, they aren't that closely linked. Wow. That has to be exhilarating and terrifying. High pucker factor.

On the Water | Looks like RC blundered it again. Can't wait for their explanation.

| Richard (chief umpire) explaining that they gave SWE a double penalty for going so far out of bounds, saving themselves at least one gybe. Then NZL slowed at the leeward gate, so SWE caught up too much, so they held them until they were back in position.
The presser ought to be interesting...

Mike Yet SWE was sailing upwind on the downwind coarse near the boundary. BS!
