Re: America\'s Cup On TV!!

Do you know when the highlights are on? I really want to see why Alinghy allowed that kind of split in light conditions! Could you see any reason, or do you think it was just an error?

 

[AlJones]

Re: America\'s Cup On TV!!

Crew error sadly!

Haven't seen anything with regard to highlights!

Re: America\'s Cup On TV!!

fantastic comentry. However a small request, can you start a new thread for today's race. This one has got a little unwieldy!

 

[AlJones]

Re: America\'s Cup On TV!!

Good wind and seaway, making for a good spectators race!
Although NZL have the lead at the first tack the SUI should take the lead. NZL really powered up and holding the small advantage.
