Better than that even - 30knots upwind in only 20 knots of breeze!
yowza!
It will all be over in one more race, and it appears to be a huge advantage in boatspeed - both upwind AND down goes to Team USA. Not sure what they changed, remember, they were down 8 races to 1 before they made a 'tweak'. no one is saying what they did, but that performance does not look like the same boat that started the regatta. I suspect they figured out something with the foils....since now they are foiling both upwind and downwind. Really amazing....
