Synergy won the start of Race 3 of the finals, but ETNZ took out the match, overtaking Synergy at the end of the first windward/leeward round.
ETNZ had been in the lead in Race 1 of the finals yesterday, but a combination of crew slip-ups and picking the wrong leeward gate mark helped Synergy get past in that race. Today it was the turn of the Synergy crew to slip up, on the kite takedown at the leeward gate, letting ETNZ through to victory.
Racing is very close, and it will be good for the teams and spectators alike to see more races between these two teams, to decide the winner of the Louis Vuitton Trophy La Maddalena.
