NZL takes the first race. Score is now 0-0, first to 7 wins the cup.

Here's a question.... Why was Philippe Presti wearing a Zhik trap harness?

Weird... Kenny doing only the post-race, on-water interviews again.

Mike

BTW, it's awesome that we've graduated to full NBC (not just the SN channel).

Mike

NZ very fast in light air, only Achilles heel appears to be not enough hydraulic reserve to do consecutive jibes. Spithill needs to win the start. Damon, I'm watching on NBC, not NBCSN.

Ugh!!!!! They ran ads over the entry again. Wwwwwwttttttttffffffffffff????!!!!

Mike

Spithill screwed himself again at the line, behind and slow this time. WOW.

Mike

Oracle loses start again, 5 sec deficit at 1st mark.

NZL going much better than USA in the light air, much better first gybe and angle into the gate. USA going to split at the gate, but are WAY out of this early.

Mike

USA slight gain out of the gate, but NZL tacking onto loose cover. Very smart.

Mike

Either Oracle is sandbagging, experimenting with set up, or something, but they are much slower on all points of sail.

Wow, incredibly fast foiling tack by NZL, USA in floater mode...

Mike

Down 900 meters on the 4th leg is an a** whoppin'

I'm lovin' the Pelican cam an the drone live feed!

"There is no second..."

Yikes.

Mike

Bring on 30 knots, please!

Mike

Spectator boats are nice and close.

Mike

Oracle back in it? Wow

Wow, USA clawed back on leg 5 upwind!!!

USA protests at the windward gate, no penalty.

USA just totally pooched the gybe. I can't take much more of this!!!

Mike

They lost nearly 300 meters on the blown gybe at the start of the final run. Pretty much game over.
