    We wouldn't have had this great action if the two races earlier in the series weren't abandoned due to wind limit being exceeded mid-race and time limit running out...NZL was leading both races...

    Those rules would have applied the same no matter which team was in front though.

    The Kiwis can still win. I'm an American and wouldn't mind losing to a guy as classy as Dean Barker. He's been very gracious in giving interviews after losses.

    this.



    Funny comment on sailinganarchy: someone said they feel sorry for the Kiwis. Response was "you mean the ones on the slower boat?" The crews aren't exactly packed with US sailors.

    Congrats to Team USA on a pulling off a great comeback victory. Today's race was very similar to yesterday's second with an almost identical start. Great effort by Team New Zealand as well...really feel for those guys having lost after putting in that much work to almost get it.
