There was a good breeze today in Valencia and both America's Cup sailing teams took full advantage of it. BMW Oracle's Gilles Martin-Raget was in the helicopter and took these shots.
Points to note here are the clean wakes, and the amount of camber that is being induced in the wingsail - visible in some shots.
Plus there are video clips from the chopper and on-board USA-17 (sorry about the engine noise)
