Incredible stable flight, already look good without even going airborne. Emirates Team New Zealand is definitely on the good track. You can tell Oracle’s bending is intended or whatever, but this boat looks just perfect without it.

I just heard that my great sailing friend and former CEO of Hobiecat Europe has passed. May The endless oceans…
...Report was sent by an F18 Sailor, if you want Hobies reported send your own, we'll publish as usual. Cheers.
Looks like in your report the Hobies are not really present. Suggest to rewrite the article.
Thanks for the great report Wik. Great battle.
If I correctly read the results the overall winner this year is a Hobie16

Wow! i'm waiting for the upgrade kit for my C2 F18. I know it is very early stages, though NZ's cat looks much more stiff than Oracle's. I'm not sure if i would like NZ to win. They are a great team, but Dalts being no fan of multihulls (understantement) might lead to the america's cup turning to mono hulls (i.e. half boats) again, if they win. let's hope that the sailors are so happy that they've converted to cats and the public as well.
