This is the superior, early first tack that gave Luna Rossa the lead in Race #3. Just look how much higher they are, in every way. Faster too. They never looked back from there, going notably faster, very smooth and clearly much faster tacking. A surprising beating that now makes race #4 incredibly important for the Kiwis…
Well it appears we have a series! Kiwis win the start, and stretch to a lead of over 800 meters in a rout to win race #4.
Kinda lame that whoever wins the start, wins the race. Not much drama on the race course after that, and as the gap increases, the interest decreases. Not a good pattern so far…
