America’s Cup, The Triangle
Tomorrow is a big day for both teams. Alinghi can even the score with a win and Oracle will win the 33rd America’s Cup with a win.
We were just notified that the start time will be delayed until 12 noon. It is crucial to have a race tomorrow as conditions will worsen early in the week.
I’d say there is a good chance for a short delay so look for the start to kick off somewhere between 3-4:30 am PST.
Russell Coutts addressed the team last night with the message to keep focused. He also said that we would always need to win at least one of the windward leeward races and that the triangle course was designed four BMWOracle’s Trimaran.
Some people are estimating that we could be as much as 5 knots faster on the reaching legs in over 8 knots of wind. 15% faster over 24 miles of sailing should be enough to win but keeping that giant wing in one piece is the key to tomorrow.
James Spithill was disappointed with his start in race one so look for another aggressive start.
The forecast is for 4 knots at midday building to 9 knots by 3pm.
USA behind at the start but sailing closer to the wind by 5 degrees and faster! imagine how much money the gas dock is making this week!
