America's Cup: Races 14 & 15

3rd & 7 37yd

Both boats getting up to 30 kts ahead of the start. Don't think time limit will be an issue today.

Go Kiwis! You invented foiling AC72's, you invented foiling gybes, you invented foil-assisted roll tacks on AC72s. Now go get that Cup!!!

Oracle have windward. Team NZ on the outside.

by Cameron McMillan 9/22/2013 8:15:06 PM
Oracle have the advantage. Team NZ don't have enough speed to roll over the top.

by Cameron McMillan 9/22/2013 8:15:29 PM
Spithill sending Team NZ wide again.

by Cameron McMillan 9/22/2013 8:15:44 PM

They finally round mark 1. So aggressive move there by Oracle, holding Team NZ for a while.

by Cameron McMillan 9/22/2013 8:16:55 PM
Finally they head off on the first downwind leg.

by Cameron McMillan 9/22/2013 8:17:07 PM

by Cameron McMillan 9/22/2013 8:17:30 PM
Oracle hit 30 kts. Team NZ about 28.5kts.

by Cameron McMillan 9/22/2013 8:17:46 PM
Team NZ gybe and Oracle match.

by Cameron McMillan 9/22/2013 8:17:53 PM
So again Team NZ start from behind. Tactics or solid technique will be vital here.

by Cameron McMillan 9/22/2013 8:18:36 PM
Oracle extend their lead. "really nice mode" says Spithill.

by Cameron McMillan 9/22/2013 8:18:49 PM

by Cameron McMillan 9/22/2013 8:19:24 PM
Oracle lead now at 194. A good gybe by Oracle there.

Team NZ fans have got their lucky socks and shoes on today.

by Hayden Donnell 9/22/2013 8:19:57 PM
They are about halfway up this downwind leg. All eyes on Team NZ now. Will they look for a split for the upwind leg?

by Cameron McMillan 9/22/2013 8:20:20 PM
Oracle lead remains at around 200m as both boats near the Alcatraz boundary. Team NZ gybe and Oracle match.

by Cameron McMillan 9/22/2013 8:20:50 PM
