American Magic lost those races before they crossed the start line. They
had no confidence in their repaired boat and a reason for that showed up in
the last race. The foil got stuck up so they had no way to tack. I thought
for a moment they might run her into the spectator fleet or go aground on
shore. I suppose they might have had capability to drop sails but that
would have been a mess too traveling at about 30 kts way outside the lay
line and way outside the course line
