They were trying to protect the right hand side of the course. By doing a lee bow tack they gave Emirates dirty air and kept the right side. I think that they thought that after the next tack they would still have an advantage and be able to cover New Zealand.
These boats are awesome. Nowadays ones are much faster but these are just beautiful
Awesome. Yea. Monohull racing is much more interesting

Alinghi.were lucky in a couple of races. They were not massivly better.
Why at 15.25 Alinghi didn't use its starboard advantage?
