Update: Oracle absolutely dominated race number one today – they owned the start, were faster on every point of sail, and flawless in execution, if you didn’t know better, you would think they switched boats! And yet just as soon as Oracle seemed to begin to establish supremacy in race #9, ETNZ snatched it right back with a come from ahead and then behind victory on the final run to once again take control of the AC, 7-1. A split simply won’t do for Oracle, they need to win every pair from here on out….
Will the hand of god (or an inverted wing) save the Kiwis from their own errors today? Will Oracle finally have their first 2-0 day, or will Dalts and the boys re-assert their downunder dominance and get just one race from a silver-studded flight home to Orkland. Watch it above NOW, if you happen to be in a country that allows it. If not, just hit the Proxy Server thread and take 60 seconds to work around it. If you have NBCSN on your cable account, just go online to watch. Talk about it as it unfolds or ask questions in the R8/9 thread.
