Oracle got one back but I can't see a repeat of 4 years ago. Some questionable sailing by spithill in the last but NZ let them back into race by not forcing their starboard r.o.w. at top of course.

Some big "dial downs".

...can't wait to try these at Windfest next year.

And that's a wrap. Good to see grit and innovation get just rewards for ETNZ.

I was going to say "Yeah! Australia wins. The kiwis were essentially nothing more than ballast."

But it's interesting to see the size of the team, all of them playing an important part. The boats don't make themselves.

Teams won't be so big next time when NZ changes the class design to Single Handed Foiling Moths.
