AC34: Luna Rossa bypass racing & ETNZ Puts Pedal to the Metal
Although we understand Luna Rossa stand on having the Jury protest hearing before the race, they should have started. With a point already lost, it was a matter of free training and even a point in their pocket.
In contrast New Zealand was simply a machine, 38knots downwind, 19knots upwind floating mode.
One thing is for sure, there is no other format / boat or class that can make me watch a race with one participant. I saw the replay (Tennis fever again here..) and the broadcasting was good as always and the incredible thing was seeing some perfect flights while racing, no edition , all exposed. Out of this World sailing.
Emirates Team New Zealand is on a Mission. R1 Replay below. More info at Americascup.com
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
