Sailing with Team NZL

I have been having a great time with TNZL here in San Francisco. Being home for 10 days and sailing on the AC 45 has been a real learning experience. Working with the team as their local knowledge expert is something that comes naturally as I have been sailing in SF bay for over 45 years, wow, that is a long time. But applying my experience to how it works for Cats at over 20 knots is new. Getting to know the angles and speeds. You surely don't want to tack or gybe to often, so taking advantage of the tides have to be done with more planning. More of a strategy, than a tactic. Yesterday we were had a nice view of USA 17, the 72. I was able to get some shots and videos, so enjoy. Sure is a big monster compared to the little AC45... Yes that is a 45 next to her..
