Is it going to be an Ineos-like "we would have won if conditions had just been between 17.8 and 18.3 kn with 20 degree shifts only if we are behind"? I think it is over stated that LRPP are really good in the light. If anything, they looked better in race 2 with a smaller jib up. They are an all round boat and I think they can win races at any wind strength. I think a rip roaring 20+ day would be great to have in the final. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If LR tacking a little early to force this mode was deliberate, then that was some fine scouting work!

Forourselves 1,336 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 I think its wishful thinking from LR fans that one race means theyre competitive. It was a mistake that led to Team NZ losing the 2nd race. Now you might say it was a mistake by Jimmy in the first race that led to LR losing the first race, but they Team NZ also extended on LR by the end of the first race and clawed the 2nd one back to within 10 seconds. Remember, Ainslie beat ETNZ in Bermuda, twice, but they were never competitive. Ainslie also beat LR in the final in one race this time, but they werent competitive then either. Oracle beat Team NZ once in Bermuda, but ultimately got destroyed. One race win doesnt make them competitive. It makes them lucky. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am glad to not support any particular team (hoping they mean it when they say to keep the concept for next edition). Great sailing and there isn't much in it. Traditional match sailing enthusiast might say that it's not close racing with 250m lead and such but given the speed it's no different than non foiling boats some 50m from each other. Currently feels like ETNZ is slightly faster but not by much, and LRRP has still slight edge on starts and aggression. I don't agree with commentary team about the luff on first race. Yes it was desperate but it was LRRP best shot at it, they know better than anyone that lead is key and once behind, getting the penalty was their best shot at getting in front again.

Haven't really seen a boat extend like that on TR. TR came back in two more on poor tactics from LR, plus a bit of speed...maybe?? Too early to make definitive judgments on speed. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
