Boats were swapping position but generally someone making a cock up rather than the passing boat being brilliant. In the previous round ETNZ were embarrasingly sluggish in the pre start but had good speed during the race and recovered well only just missing out on the final Yesterday I watched the first two starts closely, they were much better positioned in the initial charge for the line (an improvement) yet the boat still looks sluggish in that final acceleration when they are all jammed together, so still an inability to "Pull The Trigger"as the commentator says. Unfortunately they were not able to climb the placings in the race as per Rnd 2. Slingsby seems to have another gear in the same space and just accelerates off the line like a bullet no matter where he is positioned I'm damned if I know how he does it but its remarkable , its like he is in a different boat to the rest of the fleet.
