I think we have to remember this whole thing is now "Commercial". This suggests to me that the goal here is to increase the interest....by hanging back for awhile. Maybe Oracle has a "Special" pair of dagger boards (foils) that they are holding back for the "right" time to put on the boat.
Remember: They pick the boards on race day. They can't change out the boards in between races on a given day. The boat has to be OUT of the water to change the boards. The boards are the key.  NB |
Right and they had changed them for the last 2 races which seemed to make no difference in speed between the 2 boats. Is there 4 races again this weekend? If so it could be over quick.
