Two weeks from now it will be interesting to back track all that has been written about etnz vs alinghi-
Blogging over at BMW Oracle . . .
“In the final five minutes before the start, there were three protest flags, equaling the total number of flags during all AC Matches since umpiring was initiated for the 1992 Cup at San Diego.
All three protests were “green flagged” (no penalty) by umpires Brad Dellenbaugh (USA) and Bill Edgerton (GBR)

This is a transparent swipe at etnz by a bmw team that should recall the two penalties Luna rossa put on them in the starting box.

In some ways everyone said bmw had a speed advantage on Lunna rossa just like they say alinghi has one now; also the whole team vs money.
I predict etnz will stick a pre start penalty soon on alighi leading to a helmsmen change for Bmw oracle
whoops I mean alinghi!
