Oracle 72 Training 13-3-2013, vid by Andrew Wisner
Better than having a webcam, is having these videos from Andrew Wisner, currently filming in HD Oracle 72 Sessions.
In last videos from the NZ camp, ETNZ was performing a la Oracle, super fast but without much control, and Luna Rossa was somehow slower but quite steady, like ETNZ previous mode.
Don´t take me wrong, I like Oracle and what they are doing, but I have like a constant sense of fragility from them, check this video for instance.
We all want to have several races in the Finals, and not a demolition Derby.
It is great though seeing crude unedited footage, as the one published by Sail-World, gives a real status of how the teams are doing, but worst is not sailing at all, tough task ahead for Artemis.

Edit:: Maybe the lack of smoothness on Oracle AC72 is caused by the catfoling learning curve? @Vsail vid of Spithill Moth ride : https://youtu.be/8BxXAYtBcOs
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
