Follow LIVE action here: https://www.youtube.com/user/AmericasCup , no more resolution alternatives, bad move as quality is not as good as previous days.

Hearing the Aussie commentator (Edit: Rob Brown, a former multiple Oz 18 ft skiff champion and also part of the afterguard on Australia II in 1983 when they won the AC, not to mention numerous other sailing achievements, thanks to Graeme Whitlock for the data) he pointed out what I wrote yesterday about Coutts – Murrays, this is no tractor where you can easily decide tactical actions in advance, as you are also quite busy on hard handling work:

“……Coutts barked to Murray Jones today saying he needs more racing time… quite competitive guys and friends, but chill out! If I was Murray I would reply: “You wanted to race this freaking multi machines, don´t blame me, wtf do you want me to look at , if I’m out of breath and arms trimming this Wing, besides all the hard work, you need some A-Class lessons from Ashby too….mate! “

Draper beat Coutts, Hutchinson quit, Spitill and Barker had two excellent match races until TNZ blow the gennaker handling twice, one on each match to lose the Cascais MR Cup.

But until those handling errors the matches were a blast with constant change of lead.

The best today was Draper and Team Korea owning the match race Master himself.

Tomorrow a final fleet race at Cascais.
