    Game over. In the end a relatively comfortable win for NZ. ITA made a few errors that cost them dearly.

    So, same boats next time and GB will be COR next time.

    I don't think we will ever see the boat on boat stuff when you have boats sailing faster than windspeed in a format when the boat behind NEVER has an attaching advantage.

    In the old boats you kept...

    COVID level 1 so they could be on the course with a more variable wind which should improve the racing. Otherwise it’s watch the start then watch the rest in fast forward.

    Another tight day.

    In these lower wind speeds the racing isn’t that interesting after the start action.

    I believe some course options are out due to avoiding crowds.
