This Prada Cup series is amazing...so fast and so cool riding on the foils. Well done Luna Rossa.

[leandromaineri]

Great to see AM out there. Awesome speed....but, it looks a real handful, which can’t be helping the crews confidence after what they have been through. Think this is the first time I’ve watched these boats and not wished I was on board...I’ve been clenching my buttocks every time AM go round a mark. Hats off to all on board AM though, I hope you can grab a win and keep the semi’s alive & going down to the wire.

One things for sure, Dean’s getting much better with his saves, at this rate, they will be putting him in goal for the USA (or NZ?) team in the next football World Cup.

Totally expected that. Luna Rossa new foils goes well, their mistakes vs Ineos was due lack of training upon a more unstable (but faster) boats with this new foils. But they now manage well the boat, it will be a great final between them.

It's obivious that something changed on Patriot dynamics after the rebuild. Team LR was the better team today. Well deserved points.

GRANDIIII...Checco e Jimmy avanti sempre al vento

[JoeFreeRider]

I was surprised that none of the commentators took note that the foil of Patriot II was sometimes showing a tip out of the water. Looked like it wasn’t deep enough. All the other boats never have the tip above the waterline. I wonder what was going on. At one time they even focused on it for about 10 seconds. 1:28:20 you see half the foil out of the water.. At 1:39:20. They focus on it.

Thanks for letting the gybe at 1:25 playout complete uncut / in one shot from the heli cam. That was awesome!
(That let me notice that the Luna Rossa swings into the manuvers and american magic does strict / straight turns . You can also tell from the wake on 1:59) Great shots, thanks.
