Same as yesterday if the wind holds. 10-12 knot nor easter in Coromandel which is about 30 km as the crow flies east of the course

TNZ have a break down, Ineos makes the final
hugely unlikely and no it wouldn’t be remotely representative or fair but mildly amusing
or the ultimate sandbag.

Racing will probably be delayed. Forecast 3 knots 3pm. 7pm is cut off.
I didn't get to watch the whole night last night. So just finished watching the replay.
It strikes me as amazing that about 16 seconds separated the final results from a 3-way tie. I guess some are saying that they think it shocking that INEOS is slow, even though they had the same time and plenty of resources. I am shocked that the boats are so even. 3 boats are essentially even overall. INEOS has more weaknesses than the others, but is right up there at times.
For any America's Cup, to have mostly even boats is unprecedented.

Correct. All depends on the wind speed.
8 to 10 kts - PRADA
10 to 13 kts - ENTZ
13kts and above - AM

Great Barrier doing its job of blocking wind:

This is for the TV director - hope you read this. Don't turn the coverage into a fucking montage - too many quick cuts. Have the courage to sit on shots where the situation is interesting, and just let it play out. Yesterday in the last race you cut away from the first part of the beat - which is always interesting and critical - to replay the start, which was fucking bad.....Too many shots of the crowd at the village - and they're too long.......often cutting away from action at critical times. Having Stephen, I like the sound of my own voice, calling the mark roundings is getting really boring - I know it's planned, but it's dumb. Have him top and tail the coverage, then piss him off.

How warm is it today? Curious not only for how nice it must be but also for the chance of a sea breeze.
