5-1 now.

5th race was dominated to Luna Rossa, on the last one UK did a better start and manage to win the race, Luna Rossa tried they close the gap but they couldn't pass.

There was a COVID situation in New Zealand, there were in "Danger1" with no cases as you saw people at the beach even had no masks.

They have now a few cases and the UK asked to postpone the races, Luna Rossa did an Appel and won, they will race regulary.

unbelievable come back from 8-1 down.

The racing this year is certainly not done yet. From that 2013 series its clear that
small tweaks can make massive differences.

That story will certainly inspire both teams no doubt.

Very strange to me to see Luna Rossa dominate the first two days of racing against
a very strong Ineos team from the round robin series of races.

Interested to see how Team Ineos can respond and if Luns Rossa can extend their lead.

Keep also in mind that in the round Robin Luna Rossa was planning to use a slightly different boat but Ineos did an Appeal and Luna Rossa couldn't use what wanted.

They changed the boat to adapt and these are the results.

4-0 is a amazing advantage but remember the 2013 with the final from 8-1 to 8-9! Anything can happen.

They now have 3 days of rest where the Uk can fix their problems.

Luna Rossa dominated so far in every wind condition.

Whats happening with Race 7 scheduled for tomorrow?

Just saw this, well you can imagine by now... They have chosen to delete it, no point to race it.

Anyway, the FINAL of the PRADA CUP will starts in 24 hours and it will be best of 13, will win who will reach 7 wins.

ITA vs the UK.

It was always an uphill battle for American Magic to recover
from that accident, I dont know but surely there was compromises
made in the repair to get them back on the water in time
for the semi's?

Anyway Luna Rossa did well and without any obvious mistakes,
a real strong performance, they will need to carry that into the
final against Ineos.

Luna Rossa won both races and now is leading 2-0 in the semifinal of Prada cup Vs America.

USA seems still to have serious problems on the boat after what happened last week.

The top speed today was 98 KPM! Yes almost 100 kpm without any engine, this is insane.

Going to watch it tonight if not in full then the highlights, which I guess should be many.

From the reports I read it was a fantastic race with 9 lead changes with close proximity racing,
challenges and fast sailing.

Yup, Luna Rossa is closing the gap with UK, while USA seems slower.

UK is still 1 nautical knot ahead but ITA can fight with it and they have 2 more weeks to close the gap.

It should be a Win for Luna Rossa against USA in the semifinal.

American Magic is to continue on in the race.
They will need about 8 days to repair structural damage to hull.

What are the implications of such a delay?

American Magic going so well in that second race, over 40 seconds ahead of Luna Rossa
before that capsize, pretty spectacular.

Luna Rossa looked to have trouble with the boundries.

Ineos staying strong.

Yea I watched the highlights, the boats can go from being sat in the water
to being up on the foils and flying at times at 40knots in an 8knot breeze
on a small  1.8 mile course.

Low wind = no action

Ineos are going well, their odds are good on Betfair, 2.46!


Actually, the 4th race was the most entertaining, there was no wind for most of it and boats was turning like crazy to find it

From 100 meters distance up to 2km down to 200 and up again in minutes.
