Oracle gybe and Team NZ follow. A better gybe by Team NZ but they are still 125m behind in bad air.

by Cameron McMillan 9/23/2013 8:46:54 PM
Code zero.. good call or not?? Damn this is stressfull!! Come on @EmiratesTeamNZ !!! Go hard!

by Jo Aleh via twitter 9/23/2013 8:47:03 PM
Both boats raise their code zeros. Expecting lighter air ahead.

by Cameron McMillan 9/23/2013 8:47:45 PM
Oracle lead now at 170m.

by Cameron McMillan 9/23/2013 8:47:53 PM
Oracle near the boundary and they gybe back towards middle of course.

by Cameron McMillan 9/23/2013 8:48:21 PM
Code zero is a type of sail, which is a hybrid of a genoa and a spinnaker

by Michael Brown 9/23/2013 8:48:43 PM
Oracle sail into some nice pressure and they increase the lead.

by Cameron McMillan 9/23/2013 8:48:46 PM
Now out to 200m.

Oracle set to take the lefthand side of mark 2. Team NZ set to follow them instead of causing a split.

by Cameron McMillan 9/23/2013 8:50:28 PM
Oracle are in phase with Team NZ and both are foiling - just

by Michael Brown 9/23/2013 8:50:32 PM
Oracle lead at 140m as they gybe away.

by Cameron McMillan 9/23/2013 8:50:51 PM
Team NZ head to the left and Oracle to the right. Can Team NZ find something extra on the other side of the course?

by Cameron McMillan 9/23/2013 8:51:17 PM
TIM 2/3 down leg 2, USA leads NZL by 160m, both on port gybe

by America's Cup Racing via twitter 9/23/2013 8:51:24 PM
The code zero sail will make life even more difficult for the grinders

by Michael Brown 9/23/2013 8:51:35 PM
Not a great gybe by Oracle. Team NZ cut into the lead.

by Cameron McMillan 9/23/2013 8:51:41 PM
Down to 75m now but ETNZ must gybe.

by Cameron McMillan 9/23/2013 8:51:53 PM
USA Rounded Mark 2, 7:21.5 after start

by America's Cup Racing via twitter 9/23/2013 8:52:22 PM
It looks like we will be on split tacks as we head to the bottom mark

by Michael Brown 9/23/2013 8:52:25 PM
ETNZ have cut into the lead. Close around mark 2.

by Cameron McMillan 9/23/2013 8:52:29 PM
NZL Rounded Mark 2, 0:13.0 behind leader

by America's Cup Racing via twitter 9/23/2013 8:52:35 PM
ETNZ 13 seconds behind at the mark as they begin the upwind leg.

by Cameron McMillan 9/23/2013 8:52:59 PM
It's on the upwind leg when Team NZ have tended to go better. They need things to go very well today

by Michael Brown 9/23/2013 8:53:15 PM
Where is Grant Dalton??? Why is he not on the damn boat???

by notnerb 9/23/2013 8:53:18 PM
TIM USA rounds favored right gate mark, NZL around left, tacking back to right

by America's Cup Racing via twitter 9/23/2013 8:53:27 PM
So we do have a split. Oracle have the favoured righthand side of the course where they will eye the Alcatraz cone tide.

by Cameron McMillan 9/23/2013 8:53:43 PM
Both boats are travelling at a tick over 17 knots heading upwind

by Michael Brown 9/23/2013 8:53:45 PM
ETNZ on the left and tack back now.

by Cameron McMillan 9/23/2013 8:53:59 PM
Oracle lead at around 140m now.

by Cameron McMillan 9/23/2013 8:54:17 PM
TIM USA on stbd crosses 140m ahead of NZL on port

by America's Cup Racing via twitter 9/23/2013 8:54:18 PM
Team NZ will head to the starboard boundary. Oracle tack to cover them

by Michael Brown 9/23/2013 8:54:43 PM
WND Wind 260 at 12.8 kts, 14.4 kts peak

by America's Cup Racing via twitter 9/23/2013 8:55:01 PM
ETNZ go to the boundary on the Alcatraz side. Oracle tack over them.

by Cameron McMillan 9/23/2013 8:55:01 PM

Oracle lead now at around 130m. "Good puff out of this," says Spithill

by Cameron McMillan 9/23/2013 8:55:44 PM
Oracle now heading towards the city front from Alcatraz. Team NZ tack on the boundary and they do the same.

by Cameron McMillan 9/23/2013 8:56:19 PM
Both boats have been hugging the Alcatraz side to get tidal relief.

by Michael Brown 9/23/2013 8:56:22 PM
The lead remains at around the 130m mark.

by Cameron McMillan 9/23/2013 8:56:37 PM
Where has #ETNZ boat speed gone? They were quicker than #OracleTeamUSA but now 2+knots slower? #AmericasCup

It's a long run now to the port boundary. A drag race.
