This post is part of my America’s Cup in San Francisco blog post series.
Today was the first time Oracle raced their two AC72’s in the bay. At one point I was able to capture a sequence where one of their boats made a quick turn while foiling (edit: that’s called gybing on foils)! This is just amazing to see.
If you like to see this animated gif a little bit bigger, here’s the link.
Besides Oracle, Emirates Team New Zealand was also sailing their AC72 and Artemis showed up with their two AC45s as well. Below is a selection of shots that show amazing boats and today’s gorgeous weather with clouds hanging over the Golden Gate Bridge.

Thank you, Tony. I captured this sequence of images and then wondered what to do with them. So there came the idea of using a GIF animation. First time I tried it, hopefully not the last one…
