Thanks Al /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif I enjoyed reading that - I saw the pre-start and first leg, but then had to chain myself back to the desk

The morning after. ETNZ 2 : 3 Alinghi after a blown kite by the kiwis. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
Heartbreaking stuff for us black boat supporters especially as I am convinced that without the kite drama the result would have gone the other way. But you've got to admire the guts of the kiwis clawing things back and for Alinghi to only finish about 15s ahead after having such an advantage served up on a plate, is without a doubt embarassing for he Swiss and they must still be worried about boatspeed.
All other things being equal, I hope ETNZ can level the score again tonight!
