Half a day's match racing. The winds died down on the Romeo course, while it never materialized on the Juliet course.
The end-result is that LR, Mascalzone, Oracle and Örn will run this race at the end of Round Robin 1. A further disadvantage for the like of Luna Rossa, as the time between the two rounds to develop & prepare the two boats will be further reduced.
In Racing results determined mostly by highly variable wind conditions, OneWorld remains undefeated having disposed of S&S in 1:21. The Dennis Conner challenge saw great leeward speed on one leg but never really challenged for the victory. Their position is starting to look a lot like Luna Rossa's standings-wise.
Meanwhile Alinghi disposed of Wight Lightning - strategically, tactically and operationally - in 4:33.
LR now faces Örn in what will prove to be the match that determines whether the Prada Challenge will be among the four leaders.
