“We’re all good; disappointed to let the lead go,” said Emirates Team New Zealand skipper Dean Barker. “They got nicely out of phase and chipped away. We didn't get the hydraulics and if the wing doesn't tack when the boat does, you're in trouble... Fortunately the boat came up and no collision with the other guys.”

I guess our big kiwi cat really does have nine lives.

 

First down the mine, second nearly blown over...

 

And they're still in it.

 

Seriously tho', how much more pace has ETNZ got when they push it? They seem to have so much extra pace uphill in that canned race that I'm wondering whether Tasker was right when he asked if they had been holding back.

 

Are they being conservative all the time to keep the boat together, so not bothering to push it when they get behind with the six point buffer?
