- Both raced and won in solo mode, as both had issues in the races each abandoned. Daggerboards problems for LR and TNZ with failing hydraulics.
- Yesterday 3rd race was cancelled due to wind average above 20knots.
- Emirates Team New Zealand literally survived the most impressive pitch ever in Sailing History. Confirmed by Telemetry they went from 40knots while bearing away airborne to zero in a few seconds , submerging more than 60% of the entire platform (minus wing...) and two men overboard, no one injured.
- Oracle and TNZ matched forces on a downwind informal run and Oracle blasted the Kiwis.
- TNZ FOILED UPWIND while racing yesterday before abandoning the race, +25,5 knots upwind.
- Oracle 'Ainslie' lost a rudder while starting a practice race against Spithill while doing a -10knots turn.
- Both Oracle AC72 were speeding (floating mode) upwind in unsteady 15knots TWS: +-23knots

- Oracle broadcasted practice race from Saturday was really good entertaining with lead changes and a final 30 sec gap that was only due to an awful last mark rounding by OR Ainslie.
- In the end I think we will see some incredible Cup Finals...

More details later.
Today Monday, LV Finals will continue with two races scheduled for LR & TNZ.
