But we had a good time and we had that extra pace of wind, but every team has gotten faster this season and that is doing for some fantastic races.

Invictus Tactician Robert Greenhalgh: "Today, boat speed was more important and we were good in that department, but the race is very close, a mistake and you can go from the first to the tenth, which is what this class It was quite changeable today and tomorrow is even more visible with the lightest winds predicted - It's still about to play.
