I thoug...nice screen-captures & summary, jp. <br /><br />I thought the 2nd race was great, similar to the 1st. I was quite surprised to see Alinghi flagged with another penalty prior to the race even starting! the 1st leg was great, as they were tacking back and forth, each team taking the lead and then giving it back to the other. after setting up that beautiful layline and then rounding the 1st mark, though, BMW Oracle never looked back as they flew down the 2nd and 3rd reaching legs.<br /><br />I almost wish there was a 3rd race just because I enjoyed watching those monster multi-hulls sailing so beautifully!<br /><br />my2fishAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
