ORACLE TEAM USA COUTTS crossed the line in second in the final of seven fleet races on the week to finish fifth overall.

 

"We'we got a real team of fighters here, and we're very very happy. I've got a great group of guys behind me" said skipper Jimmy Spithill. On the Saturday, ORACLE TEAM USA SPITHILL took a lot of speed into the first mark when both bows went into the water. The boat stopped and nose dived into the San Francisco Bay.

 

All crew were safe and the boat was quickly pulled back up to win the day after.

 

The winner's boat proudly shows the TAG Heuer shield both on hull and sail.

 

ORACLE TEAM USA now turns its attention to sailing the new AC72 in the coming weeks. 

The next ACWS will take place in Spring 2013. 

See you then!
