race one was a total blowout.  ;D

USA got a great move to make Swiss get a penalty in the prestart, but then got themselves stuck head to wind and couldn't move.

They not only caught up the time lost, but blew the Swiss away downwind too which is where everyone said the Swiss cat would be faster.  And this was in winds less than 11 knots which was also supposed to favor the Swiss boat.    The hard wing completely and utterly rocked.

Race two on Sunday.   Unless something breaks, there won't be a race three.
