34th America’s Cup Trivia Contest- Race 11

Race 11 was another amazing battle between Emirates Team New Zealand and Oracle Team USA. Both boats were late to the start, but Dean Barker came out ahead and by Mark 1 had a 3-second lead. By the second mark ETNZ’s lead had only grown to 6-seconds. On the upwind leg, a good tactical call put Oracle ahead, but a tacking duel erupted and it was ETNZ who won it–although OTUSA took some pretty serious bites out of their lead (at one point the gap between the boats was only 30 meters).
