Yep. If they can't find some speed this will not last long. At this point they've needed a huge mistake in one race and a wind shift in the other yesterday to even make it close. They got neither today so far.

Important race for Oracle. This will be an unmitigated disaster if Oracle is down 3-0 after the first weekend.

Popular Mechanics had an article about the new boat. I guess it's not working out so well for the Americans.

They looked fine in the Qualifiers. Not sure if they did something detrimental to their boat or if Emirates improved theirs that much. They're in a little bigger boat than the qualifiers, so maybe that is part of it. Either way, Oracle better figure shite out quick, because as it stands, they're fricked.

They have 5 days for the engineering team and race team to figure out their speed issues. Kiwis have really turned up the heat on Oracle.
