America's Cup Super Sunday Wow

Never in the history of the America's Cup has there been so many lead changes in a single race. That day was today . Amongst a standing room only crowd on the coastlines . Oracle Team Usa Came out Swinging , Speeding , Flying and never looked back . 

Oracle Team USA  Took the first race today in a display of sheer brilliance and spectacle.

In the Second race with wind limits almost being reached  finally the race committee let these two great flying Machines loose and they did not disappoint .

In the closest ever reaching run to the first mark Oracle Team Usa almost out did the Kiwis Again . But in last approaching Oracle dipped and Emirates Just covered the overlap which gives them right of way ..

Oracle lead by the unforgiving and current defender of the America.s Cup Jimmy Spithill and the new Tactical team of Sir Ben Ainslie and Tommy stare em down. Slingsby made the Kiwis ...Work for every inch on the upwind untill a move on the Kiwis part set the stone for the downwind run that made Oracle Jibe to clear air and let the KIwis hold course for the run to the finish . 

This brings us to Tuesday . Monday the Teams are off well not really but no racing the Action starts again and if your a sailing fan or even a convert this will be the sail off of the century and in America's Cup History . Crowds should be light so skip school , work , that doctors appointment what have you . This is racing at its best .
