[@rogerprout5574]

A final run with the no.1 boards to be used in the final. Bring on the Cup!

[@jazldazl9193]

Polished performance guys...great work!

[@gaius_enceladus]

**Excellent** race by Team NZ!

[@qksmith]

Great to see them up online again.

[@creamcheese7845]

Are you gonna upload the final between NZ-USA

[@chrissinclair3136]

just hoping we see the finals made public v soon!

[@tuloaanisekoioane3236]

pls upload the finals between NZ and USA

[@markward2396]

Go NZ! Hope to be there. :)

[@Nick-sd7um]

So when do they take on Oracle?

[@grendelum]

Just a tip *@America’s Cup* so you don’t spoil who won next time... you have to upload races 7-9 even if it’s just a repeat of 7 with a thumbnail like all t’others. Sumo channels do this if a playoff match could happen, the video length is always long regardless if the playoff match happens or not so as to not spoil it.

[@DavidN81224]

Fair point, but it was completed a long time ago. It's not like people don't know who won. Seems like it would clutter the channel a little. Last thing I want is for people to think sailing is unprofessional and don't know when they're uploading the same race

[@rogerprout5574]

Artemis would have beaten USA as well.

[@rogerprout5574]

@Angelous Bacon Yes, it's called speed. Sweden should have won race 4 against NZ. That incident at mark 6 where Sweden was penalised was a wrong decision by the umpires. That was the best race of the whole regatta. They deserved to win that. But they crumbled under the pressure sometimes. GBR were fast to, but unstable at times. NZ had it over everyone with the pedal power leaving the foils to Tuke and the sail trim to Ashby. It's very puzzling why Spithill got so many starts wrong with the software Oracle was capable of providing.

[@stefanzzz6778]

I think so too. Artemis gave NZ far more competition than oracle.

[@edmidmi]

What was the wind speed in that race?

[@GCALcontent]

Go the Kiwi's.

[@richardjackson5023]

go the Kiwis

[@GBH001]

Artemis would have beaten the USA team as well. The b3st racing if this cup wins EatNZ v Artemis

[@familyaccount5365]

Thanks for the uploads. Will you be uploading the USA vs NZ final?

[@jby257]

The previous holder of the cup has locked the videos away. Pretty poor sportsmanship. Something very wrong with the previous holder of the cup.

[@familyaccount5365]

@@jby257 thanks for your reply.

[@jeremyclarke4481]

Sweden in name only

[@vitakyo982]

Sponsors just need a flag ...

[@grousetheghoul2754]

Yeah, you noticed that too.

[@rabidbigdog]

This race should have been stopped by the RO, really.

[@rabidbigdog]

@Angelous Bacon They were just about laying the top and bottom marks with one tack.

[@rabidbigdog]

@Angelous Bacon Yes, normally. The prior race wasn't started for the same reason.

[@grousetheghoul2754]

Is there any end to the asskissing of the Artemis boat by this media ? Someone needs to tell them their demigods actually lost. Artemis is a " de facto second American boat. "

[@infiniteblue434]

How did the good ol Yanks go then pal? Even with an Aussie skipper they were hopeless. Artemis ,with an Aussie skipper,was way faster than Oracle

[@mitchand9]

The kiwis had an Aussie skipper too.

[@groovydoo]

Was not a very enjoyable race to watch. The New Zealanders obviously had a more technically advanced boat (cyclists powering the hydraulics), and it was like watching an F-1 car versus a NASCAR vehicle. Though the speeds are exciting IMOCA 60 races are more fair and suspenseful.

[@philbyd]

groovydoo rubbish,better sailors in this race

[@zaksol7022]

It was good from.our end in nz watching the swedes with aussies onboard getting toasted.lol.

[@groovydoo]

@@philbyd I will accept that, but the cycling seems to more advantageous than hand cranking.

[@philbyd]

groovydoo maybe,but in this race the Swedes were out sailed imo

[@zaksol7022]

@@groovydoo every team thought about the cyclors but we're sceptical,the new zealanders were the only team to take the Gamble and it paid off.it was to late for the other teams to change their setup to cyclist's which also required months of fine tuning & development.i guess the nzers made the right call and it paid off. Look at the Americans they thought about it they had one cycle on their boat but it was useless.
