The BMW Oracle Racing team put BOR90 through her paces off San Diego, earlier today, this time apparently in full race mode and in a reasonable breeze, with her foils fully deployed. This is a second gallery of images from that session.

Some of these images are technically quite interesting and from the right angles for evaluation - including one shot showing the rig canted to windward.
