Oracle Team USA’s AC72 - Day 3 of sailing in San Francisco Guilain Grenier Oracle Team USA http://www.oracleteamusamedia.com/

Oracle Team USA's AC72 was out on the water for her third day of sailing, on San Francisco Bay.

We present two galleries of images of the second AC72 to be sailing in the world. No announcement was made on the day or what was achieved, however from the images it would seem as though all went well.

USA is yet to be seen foil-borne in the AC72, if indeed that is their intention
