The New Zealand team upwind was simply higher and faster upwind. pointing higher and sailing faster. I believe Team Oracle does not know what to change to go faster. The score is 4 to 1 in favor of Team New Zealand. Their performance today reminded me of Intrepid in 1967. Bus Mosbacher was without question the best match racer of his time. At the wheel of Intrepid he had to hold back, the boat was so much faster they never wanted to jeopardize getting into foul trouble.
