So, the series is tied up 1-1. So far, I think that both boats and crews are very even in winds between 10-12 knots, with Alinghi having an slight advantage.
With winds below 10 knots I think New Zealand have the edge. It is yet to be seen how will the Alinghi behave if it blows over 14 knots, with New Zealand having shown that she's very capable in those conditions... that's one hell of a good design!
Now I dare to say, that this Cup will end up 5-2 or 5-3 either side. If the winds shows, the Cup will stay in Europe... if it doesn't, the Cup will go down under again. If that happens, let's see what the kiwis have in mind with the nationality rules rumors are talking about...
