Thanks YMX. Was busy trying to work out time diffs with here. Always good to see it in GMT.

ETNZ smashed the start which was good to see.
The sight of the American boat limping off into the far flung distance was slightly amusing.

Wrong side of the course - looks like if you can get out in front and have clean air then providing you stay on your foils you should run away with it.

Was that Ben Ainslie just moaning over the mic
“If that’s not a penalty, that’s ridiculous”
Victim stuff. I don’t imagine he’s endearing himself to the race officials

If you can get out in front in these conditions then you should be able to lead the whole way.
I thought I heard one of the commentators say that the air disturbs around a kilometre down the course - that is the benefit of the lead position. That is crazy.
