Jeeze Mabe Mercedes tech isn't what its cracked up to be ??

Kobe Bryant once sed ...job not done...nice response from the nz crew today ❤

[@stefanocalonaci5540]

Barca più veloce! Tattica perfetta e troppo bravi in manovra.

[@fluiditynz]

Better VMG for us kiwis. Lots of times Ineos was faster but at poorer wind angles. Too much speed to blow it off on staying on foil for Ineos's smaller foil.

Offshore, that's our kitchen, heh

Bravo Zulu from Mars😂

No Presents today 😢

2013 is not happening again.

The curse on the British in the America's Cup continues. I enjoy the speed of these AC75s but I don't think its really a good match racing machine. Comebacks from more than 200m behind seem virtually impossible, based on what we saw in the finals and the Challenger series.

[@barryscott6222]

200m in any boat is virtually impossible.

[@johnmeredith7128]

There is no "curse" on the British in the AC. That notion just dismisses the superior boat design and sailing skill of ETNZ.

@@johnmeredith7128yes,well done to the Australian helmsman

[@forumboss2620]

@@barryscott6222 You've never sailed in a 6m catamaran, or even a 24' keelboat. We see 200m changes upward often with a major wind shift and a long course.

​@@andrewpease3688Yes and congratulations on Great Britain winning there first Americas cup since 1851! Oh wait .....Still waiting......

Via subito con le sanzioni a new zealand

[@davidbrown8536]

Yep... No more handbags for them.....

[@LorenzoRosso-g6e]

IHIHIHIHIIH...when NZL lost the foil....INEOS gave it...a distance of 1000 meters and in the 2nd REGATA NZL gave a distance of 1000 meters to INEOS who had normally started???? No fair play from NZL absolutely🤮🤮🤮🤮 This is not sport !!!

[@benc3272]

These 'races' are over half way up the first beat. As far as I've watched, not one boat has managed to come from behind as the lead boat gets to choose the best track. There's never going to be a freak lift/gust that will change that and these crews are too good to make mistakes. Makes it a v dull procession. This formula needs tweaking.

[@jeffreywoodhead2682]

After the first leg you're basically waiting for an equipment failure..

[@rundavid]

Totally agree with you !

[@joanazed]

So boring 🥱🥱

[@liamwilliams6088]

Then watch someone play Chess

[@roderick167]

oh the tiktok generation, can't watch anything longer that 10 seconds before they get bored

[@struck2soon]

It gets boring to watch when there is no contest.

[@johnmeredith7128]

Then why watch? And why post that you're bored?

[@struck2soon]

@@johnmeredith7128 because I keep hoping it will get exciting. But it hasn’t so far.

[@mauricehodgson3143]

So it is boring when ETNZ win, but not boring when they lose. 🙂

[@struck2soon]

@@mauricehodgson3143 please refer to my original comment, as you seem to be missing the point. (BTW, I am a kiwi.)

[@brycenew]

There is huge contest, you just can’t see most of it. The contest / battle is very real, that’s why ETNZ lost two races. And why IB rapidly made up ground in Leg 5 of either Race 7 or 8. And had better VMG in Races 5 & 6.
