America’s Cup
Day 6
Do or Die
Down 6 races to 2, the stress to win and survive is all on the Brits…
Tremendous mild breeze earns a wholesome begin delay, however an hour or so later, they get underway in 8 knots true with a lot flatter seas. The Brits win the beginning and drive TNZ to tack away, however Ineos has to duck once they meet once more. The Kiwis clearly needed the precise aspect and similar to yesterday, they acquired it.
The Kiwis look like masses quicker and rapidly construct an early 150m lead. Quicker and smarter is a lethal mixture.
No matter downwind benefit chunky Ineos could have as soon as had is clearly lengthy gone. In actual fact it’s secure to say that TNZ has been the quicker downwind (and upwind) boat 90% of the time.
As soon as once more this race is 6 legs as an alternative of 8, and as soon as once more there seems to be no purpose for it. Maybe it’s a mercy fuck from the RC?
The boats have massively break up on the following beat, with the frackers gaining massively, chopping the result in 20m!!
The Kiwis acquired lazy and let the Brits get away to the precise, they paid for it, and holy shit, we’ve a race! Thy break up on the climate gate in a tie! Nonetheless, the Kiwis are merely quicker on the run, and around the leeward mark simply in entrance, however god rattling the Brits are going effectively upwind.
Nonetheless, the Kiwis retain their nice kind to spherical the ultimate climate mark 17 seconds forward and do nothing however sail away to a 350m lead, partly as a result of the Brits needed to tack twice to around the mark.
A 500m lead on this ultimate run signifies that it’s over. Recreation, set, match.
Big props to your complete TNZ program for actually being the Masters of Reality on this America’s Cup. Title theft because of Black Sabbath.
