1) I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A STATEMENT: JOHN KOSTECKI SHOULD FEEL VINDICATED. YOU CANNOT FIX A SLOW BOAT.
2) ORACLE IS NOT WINNING STARTS, NEW ZEALAND IS LETTING THEM GO. WHY WOULD THEY RISK A FOUL OR DAMAGE ? ( remember Intrepid in 1967?)
On a race course like this, if the boats were equal, winning the start would almost assure a victory. There are very few passing lanes. New Zealand’s tacks are better, their jibes are better.
The bows on Oracle are too fine. There is no displacement. It is proving to be a mistake.
