INHO, Magic was just slower than Luna Rossa for some reason(s).
I also think Spithill was better than Barker in the prestarts—maybe because
Magic was slower—it’s complicated.
OTOH, Luna’s victory over a slower/handicapped boat and crew in this round
robin is unlikely to mean much when they face t
Pfff... get real.
You think JP Morgan had a boat with his company name on it in huge
letters? The $100m boats can only be done with massive sponsorship,
with boats covered in logos and the race course overlaid in sponsor
names at the boundary. The offshore racing of old didn't have shore

Don't be a "Debbie Downer"
New Zealand didn't have to help. There have been many America's Cups with only
one Challenger like Sir Thomas Lipton, Sopwith etc. New Zealand against
Conner. America's Oracle against the Swiss Alinghi. In fact more single
challengers than multiple ones. New Zea
I don't think NZ had much choice but to help fix the boat, otherwise the
series would have immediately lost 4 to 7 races - a big hit to
advertisers. And this running of the AC already looks fairly sad in
terms of number of participants. At one point Ken Read was going on

Hi Dwight,
I think Italy got faster, during the time America needed to repair their boat
plus I think America tweaked some things on their boat that complicated their
performance and reversed the progress they had made. It's a shame they didn't
win one race.
The bigger story that I'm hoping
Wow! I like the seven times round. Especially if they have to survive some
strong storms.

American Magic lost those races before they crossed the start line. They
had no confidence in their repaired boat and a reason for that showed up in
the last race. The foil got stuck up so they had no way to tack. I thought
for a moment they might run her into the spectator fleet or go aground on

Wouldn’t it be great if Ineos took the cup back to Britain and they called for
the next round to circle the Isle of Wight in J-Boats?
