This will be the first time that we have lost with Grant Dalton on board! :(

by cjt 9/15/2013 8:34:12 PM
Barker is going to have to win the starts if we want the cup, cant rely on a superior boat anymore

Oracle gybe again and yet again it's a very clean gybe.

They are in great form today as they eye mark 4

by Cameron McMillan 9/15/2013 8:35:44 PM
This makes it interesting

by David 9/15/2013 8:35:49 PM
Media thought we already had the cup in the bag, can see Oracle taking it now

by big j 9/15/2013 8:35:51 PM
Yeah Barker needs to work on his starts. Not lost yet (Very far from it) they need 8 and we need 3 so it's very doable.

I don't think that was supposed to happen...!!!

by Kiwi 9/15/2013 8:38:57 PM
I hope there is a second race today so Team NZ can have a 2nd shot

by cjt 9/15/2013 8:39:00 PM
Oracle were impressive from start to finish. A great start and faultless throughout the race. From now on the race starts are going to be huge. Previously Team NZ could afford to give up the start and pass later down the course. Doesn't seem like that's the case.

by Cameron McMillan 9/15/2013 8:41:24 PM
There is an "i" in emphatic

hope nz can win 2nd race at 9.10 they need to win start

Read Dana Johannsen's report of race 9 here www.nzherald.co.nz

by Cameron McMillan 9/15/2013 8:43:54 PM
Oracle have been studying us, testing and tweaking. Team NZ are going to have to get a better start off the bat. Annoyed yesterday's race was called off, we could have won that one.

by Karl 9/15/2013 8:44:02 PM
TNZ hasnt completely shaken off yesterday. Dean said the boats will be quite different beasts when regatta finishes. Now Americans has changed theirs, will we see a changed TNZ boat tommorrow?? Lets finish this thing off quickly now.

by 2winHull 9/15/2013 8:44:10 PM
We sure Oracle didn't put some more lead in somewhere!

by Bill 9/15/2013 8:44:18 PM
Why are we so negative/ We have just three to win and they 8???

Does anyone else find it awfully suspicious that their boat is suddenly a LOT faster?

cause we just got owned, our tactics to date will not get us through the rest of the regatta, if we dont evolve, improve as they have.....

Team New Zealand skipper Dean Barker said he always expected Oracle to find their rhythm as the series went on.

"They've definitely stepped up and we knew they would," he said.

"We know this is going to be a battle and we've been saying that right from the start. These guys are going to give it away easily."

by Cameron McMillan 9/15/2013 8:49:11 PM
Hang around for race 10. Strong winds could postpone it again. Let's hope it's jnot while Team NZ is leading again.

Ooohh this #AmericasCup match is getting tense! Race 10 due to start in 25 mins, but the breeze is building on the Bay.

That was some racing in race 10. Oracle took the lead briefly but Team NZ held on. That's want you want to see. Both these boats attacking each other. Amazing viewing. They'll be back again in races 11 and 12 on Wednesday. Team NZ will have the vital port advantage in the first race. With two wins to go they 'could' claim the Auld Mug on Wednesday.

by Cameron McMillan 9/15/2013 9:56:51 PM
To clarify races 11 and 12 will take place on Wednesday.
