VetV is saying 29knots for USA 17 in 6 knots… !!! nice performance for BOR assuming they are seeking to race above the 15knots limit , as below they predict a better performance for A5

Very nice pics!
I think I miss understood that, is the BOR doing 29 knots with only 6 knots of wind?
That´s what live witnesses are saying… French magazine and Pierre from Valencia Sailing: USA 17 does 29knots with 6knots of wind…
that is sick !
that is insane, as insane as saying that if someone sneeze close to the sail, the boat will have a boost aqnd reach 40 knots
Hello Martin, fantastic blog you have! Not everybody is so optimistic as the french mag about the speed of BOR: https://valenciasailing.blogspot.com/2010/01/bmw-oracles-usa-17-sails-for-first-time.html
Bye-bye Uli
Hi Uli, thanks for your comments.
Pierre confirmed VetV in SA AC forum that speed, but yes he said 29knots in 10knots TW , impressive.
Afer that I don´t know how much slower is USA 17 than A5 in low winds.
