Guest Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 This is sooo impresive, Maybe their meteo guys called pressure to the right, They've came down to sh*t on AL to force them to tack into light air in middle. they didn't... Link to post Share on other sites

Fogg 427 Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Agree, the downwind is going to be v interesting now. Upwind it seems to be clearly BWM ahead even in the light.... but downwind could turn the tables? Link to post Share on other sites
Mothership 6 Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 We're getting high quality feed from americascup.com over our Slingshot connection with no issues. Cached from Akamai which have servers on Slingshot's network, so the same as serving it up locally. bmworacleracing.com feed seems to be of similar quality, also no issues with streaming at the mo. The other good thing is Slingshot have free off peak data, so no worries about data caps. Quality is quite reasonable at full HD (1920x1200px) resolution. Link to post Share on other sites

Mothership 6 Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Doesn't matter at present - not when it's quicker. Link to post Share on other sites
Fogg 427 Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 It does look wrong doesn't it, KM. But it feels great. A bit like a snatch, eh? Link to post Share on other sites
Fogg 427 Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Don't you love it how these guys are explaining everything in layman's terms e.g. what a layline is. As if anyone sitting up watching sailing at 3.30am wouldn't know what a layline is! Link to post Share on other sites
DrWatson 375 Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 AC, isn't the layline connected to your previous comment? Link to post Share on other sites
Megwyn 2 Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 15:24 Alinghi tack but so far no response from USA. Alinghi's speed only dropped to 10 knots through the tack and they looked pretty slick. USA tacks now. 15:31 So USA lead now by 730 metres and as the breeze decreases we see Alinghi shedding some water ballast. Breeze at the weather mark is around seven knots at 165 degrees.
