My thoughts/guesses/reading the tea leaves:
1 - I don’t think LRPP will have many toys left to add. They were spooked by being in the semi and threw pretty much everything on for the Semi - which explains the significant speed improvement
2 - LRPP remind me of ETNZ in 2017
3 - ETNZ will know where things are at speed wise & I think they’re worried given their attempt to postpone the prada cup (giving themselves and UK more time).
4 - ETNZ will be race rusty - mistakes will be made
It’s going to be close...

I think 7:3 also, not sure which way.
Interestingly LR publicly hoping for light wind at the Prada cup presentation, implies they don't fancy their chances vs TNZ in upper range.

Going to be a fascinating first couple of hundred metres...
Te Rehutai looks a bit of a weighty Katey compared to the Handbags in that shot she had better go on a diet.

Haha, as if it is not confusing enough to wade through 500+ posts in the morning, with topics scattered around several threads. Never mind, it's Anarchy.

There has been a lot of criticism on this forum of media coverage of the AC so far. What this whole event needs is a rock-solid news source.
With only two weeks to the Match and having picked the wrong team to win the Prada Cup, I now feel suitably qualified and prepared to launch a new SAAC Special Report, featuring the very latest in Americas Cup intelligence.
It is based on the author’s extensive discussions with a seemingly endless parade of opinionated individuals encountered on North Head, many of whom claim “insider knowledge” via obscure and highly secretive connections into the respective Americas Cup teams.
Many of these tip-offs are given extra credence by the wearing of team supporter’s caps and/or tee-shirts, sly glances, insider terms of familiarity like “Pete” and “Jimmy”, and sometimes even naming sources (for example, “Trevor, my cousin’s next door neighbour, who works for ETNZ’s photocopier paper supplier”).
Published at random intervals, it will also draw on confidential SA PMs, waterfront gossip, tea leaf-readings and blue-sky uninformed speculation. Plus a lot of time observing seagulls.
Sorry RG.
