LRPP win the start, TNZ lose a bunch early then claw back mid way and round 8s behind. Close on the downwind, with TNZ gaining a bit on the left side. Now LRPP pulling ahead in the bottom half of the downwind.

LRPP gybe and round the left mark, TNZ follow 10s behind.

Now a split, with LRPP on the left. TNZ gain big on a shift

fxykty · 14-03-2021, 20:25

TNZ tack onto starboard, LRPP behind and tacking to leeward

fxykty · 14-03-2021, 20:26

LRPP left it too late, left room for TNZ to stay clear. Now TNZ on top of LRPP.

Finally, we've got some real racing happening in this race now.

Wow. Lead change

Big gains upwind by TNZ and round 19s ahead. Both on starboard to the left boundary. Commentators think more wind on the left, though TNZ passed on the right via a shift

ETNZ puts paid to any rumours of being slower upwind.

More boat speed, more VMG, and faster through the tacks than LR.

Leg 3's performance from ETNZ will very worry LR.

Could be down to jib choice too though. ETNZ running a smaller jib.
