Go Team New Zealand !!! :groupwave:

by **creator2003** » Tue Jun 26, 2007 6:45 pm

team nz have been racing for weeks now and i notice the other night that each time Alinghi tacked its boat speed dropped to 7.4 n and team nz only to 8.0-8.5 so in a tack duel id expect teamnz to come out on top ,
as for the straight boat speed im sure they are equal ,there was some talk that it was just different sails in the first ,its going to be close race but i think we have a really good chance ,tonight is anyones Alinghi mite come back hard ..

GO ALINGHI!!!

If I could afford to go to Valencia! :lol:

Did anyone else see that little article on 3 news comparing how Team NZ and Alinghi might do better or worse depending on wind speed?

It went something like, less than 9 knots Team NZ will do better, as their thinner hull keeps weight down. 9-12 it will be pretty even, but Alinghi can point their nose into the wind further than TNZ without losing speed. 12-16(?), Alinghi can speed on the downwind and go pretty fast.

Apparently the weather forecast for the next couple of days is for light winds, so hopefully that theory proves itself.

Well thats what they said on the news but if u go to the americas cup website u will see that it is only 11.7knots atm and th forecast is for it to stay the same or even die out furthur. As for who will win I cannot stay at this stage but go kiwi >nzflag<

it will be good for us >nzflag<

BOTHER my attack on the NZ boat has failed. I cut the ropes to the spinnaker that the man was holding onto so he would fall in and slow NZ down so Alinghi could win. :angry:

by **victor_alpha_charlie** » Wed Jun 27, 2007 5:12 pm

So what's the official score as of now? Last I heard it was 1-1.

by **Naki** » Wed Jun 27, 2007 5:13 pm
