Hey Hobie17 don't stay up to late tomorrow - no racing, next race is Wednesday ( so the news reel says on the AC site). Their not going to shuffle lay days. Too bad though supposed to be decent wind tomorrow and more crud on Wednesday!

Where did you get that info cc? I've been watching out for the start and all it says is "postponed until further notice".

I plan to be asleep by 1300 CET.

Just amazing how much more power the Oracle platform can gererate.

Be interesting to see what changes Alingy make to the boat. Looks like it should be good for tonight (fingers and toes crossed)

Ellison reckons its going back to dueling monos for the next challenge.

Hope so! All that wasted time in court rooms fighting over what to race. They finally build those big, impressive cats and then they can't sail them if there's not enough wind... can't sail them if the sea is too lumpy. I was beginning to wonder if they were really boats at all.
