Prada Cup

[RobbieB]

Oh shit.  10 sec gain for prada and split the gate....

 

[Tugboat]

Well that was a surprising first day. 

 

[zillafreak]

HOLY SHIT INEOS 2-0. WHAT THE FUCK

 

[RobbieB]

Damn.  LEft side Jimmy.   INEOS is for real.

 

[167149]

well thats a long awaited eyeopener...... goodonem

 

[Redreuben]

BANG !

So..... no fluke. 
 

RULE BRITANNIA!

 

[Miffy]

Don’t think they were sandbagging at all. Otherwise the team wouldn’t have been working so hard over the past weeks. They’ve shown they can sail in good breeze. Question remains March light wind. 

 

[Horn Rock]

Another great race from the Brits.

 

[nroose]

AM we’re forced to play on the wrong side of the course, in the vain hope of wind shift which never came. Losing the start is what killed them

This just doesn't apply to going around the wrong windward mark, though.

 

[terrafirma]

Ineos kept racing after the finish.! LOL 

 

[Chapter Four]

WTF,

I'll have my humble pie served warm, thanks.

Well done Ineos, we have a regatta !

 

[idontwan2know]

Starts are going to be decisive when the course is so lopsided and Ben dominated the starts today.

 

[mako23]

So driver or tactician fuck up?

Best to blame the kiwi 

 

[Horn Rock]

So good for the event. I think the 3 boats are now pretty similar in speed - at least in this wind strength.

 

[zillafreak]

Ben Ainslie + fast boat = ENTZ: Oh shit!

 

[Nutta]

In the last leg, there were sustained periods where INEOS had significantly better VMG (like 35 vs 29)...

 

[JALhazmat]

The closet INEOS fan boy numbers have just shot up.. 

bloody excellent start, really pleased for the boys 

 

[Nutta]

Ben Ainslie + fast boat = ENTZ: Oh shit!

Nah... I think we'll wait until March...

 

[martin 'hoff]

Fantastic commentary from Nathan Outteridge and Ken Read, and good questions to the captains. Good stuff.

 

[Varan]

Wow! Who let the sand out.
