Another win for Adam and Team NZ causes Oracle to pull the pin!

  • September 11, 2013

An exciting Day 3 of racing in the Americas Cup final wrapped up early this morning Sunshine time with another Team NZ victory over Oracle Team USA.

After a spectacular and close start that saw Oracle lead for the first 2 legs, Team NZ took control upwind and won in convincing style. Oracle took the opportunity after the race to play their ‘postponement card’ to postpone the second race of the day to allow them time to regroup and work on making imporvements to try to match TNZ.

Team NZ with SLMASC’s Adam Beashel on board, have now won 4 races to Oracle’s 1 race, however due to a scoring penalty incurred by Oracle before the finals series, the official series score is actually 4-0 to Team NZ (with Oracle yet to incur one further race penalty).

Things are looking promising for Adam and Team NZ, but there is still a very long way to go in this finals series and anything can happen in a yacht race as we all know. Remember that you can send Adam and Team NZ your message of support by emailing him directly at  adam.beashel@slmasc.org

Smooth sailing Adam and Team NZ ….. keep up the great work.
