Pitch Pole!
/Wow and Wow again. All caused by SBA and BAR pinching them out so they could not turn down to the start. Watch it on You Tube.

BAR Sending it.
/BAR actually lost this race to TNZ just on a tacking duel on the 3rd leg. But the conditions were marginal for All. We had a great time watching. Even for us it was not an easy day with a 58m Ketch getting caught broadside off our bow. We dropped out 2 shots of chain 60m and backed up...They missed us by 8m!

Artemis out of Control
/Artemis had issues with the control of the boards all day in the high winds and came close to disaster a few times Richie as always caught the action.

Master Class!
/Jimmy got the start and they never looked back. Maybe starting is the weakness in TNZ
Taking sides
/As inevitably happens the crew have their favorite Teams.. Each and every boat had support from Us. We know many of the guys on the team and for some it is hard to pick a single team to wave the flag for. Clearly Oracle is the number 1 choice, followed By TNZ and BAR
