What kind of bullshit is this? I sort of doubt they are setting up a remake of 2013. This 20 minute heat race shit in the harbour @ Bermuda is fucking stupid.

How could Oracle beat the Kiwis in the semi finals soundly but not even get close to them this weekend?

I suggest they buy Artemis and hire their crew for next weekend.

Even with pics, this thread would be worthless.

It's a shitty light wind boat. Also, Jimmy Spithill botching the starts doesn't help.

Truth, every fricking start too.

I like the NZ plan of using cyclist instead of grinders.

They were embarrassed by the other boat.

They looked like a bunch of rookies.

I watched them practice in SF bay. I was astounded by how fast they were clipping across that water.

Well they sure got their asses handed to them on race day.

"Oracle blows" is really all that was necessary in the title and it would have summed up everything.

I can't imagine how much this loss is going to cost us Oracle DBMS customers.

If I heard correctly, Spithill thought the wind would be stronger and used the wrong daggerboards.

NZ used daggerboards designed for light winds.
