33rd America’s Cup - BMW ORACLE Racing - Training in Valencia - establishing an overlap from astern - now what’s the rule about that again? BMW Oracle Racing Photo Gilles Martin-Raget http://www.bmworacleracing.com

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.

The points to note are how far forward the apparent wind is in some of the shots event though the true wind is well after - guaged by the white cap waves visible in some of the images.

Plus there's another amazing on-board video:

Thank you, Huey… Some sun, and a tad of wind means it is time to go racing... Ahead of the annual Beneteau Pittwater Regatta by Flagstaff Marine the weather had not been all that grand. So, peaks of sun migrating to distinct patches, and the occasional zephyr turning into a waft, then on to a calm breeze was fortunate.
