Study time. Luna Rossa and TNZ meet. For the glory? Doubtful. They know each other well, they may try to send mixed signals in view of a possible semis match-up. But above all it will be measurement time (LR has to look at leeward performance, sails...). The two points don't matter, getting ready for the semis does.
The only match which has any interest for the public is Desafìo-Victory. Victory wins, tightly, after having managed the race. Awaiting judgement on a spinnaker drop at the mark.
ML is over the line at the start... Meanwhile +39 had a good prestart and then start legging it out. Then they maange to the end.
LR and TNZ entertain on the prestart, then go into a tacking duel: 30 in 22 minutes. TNZ wins the windward leg; but it's leeward that interests us. First leeward is inconclusive; LR clearly does not have a leg up in this configuration.
