Listening to Ainslie plan tactics during the pre-start and then exhorting the crew during this historic win, as well as looking back at the upward climb from a dismal first half, still have me convinced Ainslie was the x- factor, along with the constant late refining work on the boat to become competitive in speed to match ETNZ's early dominance.

You cannot discount the feverish undying determination added by a positive thinking crew led by "new blood." <br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10828899190566591915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4324974786160223899.post-86493531165159032302013-09-26T06:38:54.766-07:002013-09-26T06:38:54.766-07:00Tactics, fearless helming, perfect trim, & ins...Tactics, fearless helming, perfect trim, & inspired incredible crew work certainly all contributed.
