ETNZ wins race 9. Race 10 was postponed due to no wind. Match point for the Kiwis. One more win and it’s over. ---

Well done Kiwis! The America’s Cup stays in New Zealand. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/jOU8pPhY_1A/maxresdefault.jpg "The 36th America’s Cup Presented by PRADA | 🔴 LIVE Day 7") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOU8pPhY_1A) > [@MyBigMoon](#): > > why were they banned? I didn’t mind it at all but people didn’t like the aesthetics. Looks more like sailing if you grind with your arms, I suppose. If I had been in charge, I’d have left them alone to pedal grind as they wished. ---

I didn’t see it. Watching now for the rerun. Why did NZ befrore the start of the race change to a smaller jib when the wind was light? Starts in :15 ---

> [@MyBigMoon](#): > > I didn’t see it. Watching now for the rerun. Why did NZ befrore the start of the race change to a smaller jib when the wind was light? Starts in :15 I was late too. The Kiwis desperately wanted the right side of the course so it might’ve been something to do with that. I won’t type any spoilers. ---

I’m not sure what you mean. If you mean that weird zig-zag they do, it’s to keep the sails at the highest angle possible to the wind, which powers the boat. The stronger the wind, the smaller the sail you want, so it’s always a guessing game how strong the wind is going to be. ---

I have never been so impressed with an America’s Cup. These new AC75s (the name for this class of boat, invented just for this America’s Cup) are breathtaking. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/r6HW52g1JwM/maxresdefault.jpg "The Amazing AC75") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6HW52g1JwM) ---
