You’ll notice I didn’t post on the final races.

These were damn good races though.

It turns out I was wrong. Alinghi can fall off, so long as it is not past 90 degrees from the wind. Here is a shot of the maneuver that won them the race and the cup. Brilliant boat driving.

The grid lines are pointing to the wind and perpendicular to it. Close but perfect angle and impact to Team NZ
