Friday races - 34th America's Cup. The racing.
Heading upwind along the city front. The first race was in light air and NZ was over 1 km ahead of Oracle...but they couldn't finish within the 40 min time limit - which for me sounded very unfair since this time limit has nothing to do with sailing and there really no way to tell how light the wind is going to be!
Oracle downwind with their Code Zero.

In race 2, Oracle was ahead
flying!
Oracle actually won the race that day (the first race was abandoned) second before NZ could finish.
