Re: Americas Cup - OFFICIAL match thread

I think they did very well too. At one point during the racing against Ineos I thought we would really struggle but once the racing started and the boys got up to speed there was the feeling LR was holding on, mainly due to some fantastic sailing especially at the start. Yes the Italians sailed bri...

Re: Americas Cup - OFFICIAL match thread

Really hard lines for the Italian team. They were sailing so well and got absolutely stuffed at the top mark and took 8 minutes to get going again. That was filthy. ETNZ showing its class though. I think they have been out sailed for the most part but gain such an advantage in powering up their boat.
