Oracle the top boat!
(See the introductory post for background)
The first round robin of the Louis Vuitton Cup wrapped up over the weekend. The great news is that the Oracle team is in 1st place. They only lost one race, a tight one to the hometown favorites Desafio Espanol. In that race, the Spanish got a great start, squeezed Oracle out, forced them to tack away on the first beat and managed to hang onto that lead for the rest of the race. More importantly, Oracle beat both of the other favorites, Luna Rossa and Team New Zealand (TNZ) in their races, concreting their spot as the boat to beat in the LV Cup.
Go BMW Oracle! Bring the Cup home!
