  1. I think Alinghi chose the wrong tactics. On leg 2, they should have continued to cover and actually match-race, because both boats are practically equally fast. Then tactics are crucial. I really wonder what was going through the minds of the helmsmens.

  2. Alinghi RedBull Racing has nothing to show for. What a disappointment!
    The boat is a lemon and the helmsmen are clearly out of their league.
    INEOS Britannia will put an end to their misery and send the Swiss packing by the end of the day.

  3. what I don`t understand is (at 14:59 for example) the announcement: "This is the race committee we are moving the gate shifting the access to 170". Do they actually alter the race-course during the race? Why? And how would that be even possible since the buoys are permanently anchord to the seafloor. Can somebody explain that to me. It also happens quite a few times during the race. I`d love to know whats behind all that! Thanks in advance!

  4. I think that first top mark rounding did the damage. Alinghi chose the left mark and gybed. Ineos took the right mark for a bear away and used their downwind speed advantage to take control. But then I've never raced a foiling monohull.

  5. Superb sailing Ineos team! Well done. Clearly you’ve done a lot of behind the scenes analysis and then applied the lessons learned to great effect of the water. A joy to watch! Looking forward to more victories!!
