And that appears to be the one largest determinant on day one of many AC LV closing between Prada v Crew Frack.
Race 1
Gucci Gucci, Louie Louie, Fendi Fendi, PRADA
Breeze on! Gotta be 18-20. 8 leg race as a substitute of 6. I’m anticipating not less than one, if not each boats to DNF. (I used to be improper, which is unusual as a result of I’ve by no means been improper earlier than. Bizarre.)
Prada crushes frack firstly, frack tacks away, tacks again and Prada crosses simple. Prada is flying increased and appears sooner, however would we all know? the broad aster aren’t displaying the boatspeeds on the beat. Prada rounds first and instantly hits 52 knots and builds a 275. lead. Fracks rounds properly behind, rolls into a careless tack, and Prada builds a 330m lead. They appear flawless.
400m lead now however Frack takes 50m out of the lead, however Prada, at this level appears to be like untouchable. Form of wonderful to observe Prada around the weathermark and simply rockets away downwind at 50 knots. Prada touches down and Frack features 50m. Prada rounds the leeward mark with almost a 400m lead.
The Britts butcher the rounding and Prada stretches, clearly the higher boat in the present day. A 635m lead proves that. Prada appears to make much less fuss going by the water and rounds the leeward mark with a 500m lead.
Breeze drops barely, however regardless of to Prada, as they spherical the ultimate climate mark with a 44-second lead. The lead builds to over 800m and this race is formally a beating!
Prada has modified jibs,, to what we don’t know, though the breeze is up over 20 and the RC has delayed the beginning. Frack will get a greater begin and they’re going higher. Prada’s jib appears to be like too small, Frack begins to stretch to a 140 m lead and rounds first and touches down, Prada features however Frack goes properly to spherical first.
Prada although appears to be like good on the left, gaing the entire time. Frack slams them however Prada retains gaining although, solely 80m behind, Frack rounds forward, with Prada lurking.
Frack has higher vmg on the run and so they construct on the run. Prada takes the appropriate gate to no avail. Frack merely going higher. However Prada is hanging in there, however not gaining. Ineos is solely higher, stretching and wins decisively.
