jpskid 0 #407 Posted February 12, 2010 FWIW, USA definitely flew a hull a few times there even in the current breeze (or lack thereof). +1 although the venerable Gary Jobson has stated that the secret to a good start is to never go slower than any other boat on the line, I suspect some degree of gamesmanship by BMWO here. . . their camp has been talking up A5's "advantage" in light air a bit too much in the press conferences. hopefully we find out soon....

2_Hulls 0 #409 Posted February 12, 2010 If he drops the AP now, based on the DoG, we are now into a 9:30pm finishing time limit. The trouble is, if he starts in really light conditions and Alingi win, everyone will give him shit about being in their pockets... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mid 2,118 #416 Posted February 12, 2010 14:13 Still Alinghi are a sailing around at 15 to 16 knots of boat speed, occasionally flying a hull. They seem to want to go racing for sure, USA still holding fire cruising six or seven knots with their headsail away now. Breeze is 155 deg at the WW1 and start, 160 deg in middle of track and 155 at the start area, 3 knots at the startline area and 5 knots offshore at WW1 mark.
