It's 3-3 with Britannia

That done and undone, Luna Rossa in the Louis Vuitton Cup is like this: today, during the first regatta, she in fact gave the decisive advantage to her opponents Ineos Britannia by making an error at the start, on the line starting point and then managed to recover in the second descent in the waters of Barcelona.

The AC75, under the banner of Circolo della Vela Sicilia, after a practically equal start this time, had a good first stage (out of the total eight match races today) and passed the first gate with 4″ in advance. The gap was then increased in the second and third stages of the challenge. Thus Luna Rossa, barred as usual by the duo of the Sicilian Francesco Bruni and the Australian Jimmy Spithill, was able to control and score the English boat, with team leader Ben, for the rest of the race, until crossing the finish line first.

Thus the situation of parity continues in this final of the Vuitton Cup, which will continue tomorrow: two other match races are scheduled, the seventh and eighth of the series. Then, both boats are expected to return to sea on Wednesday for two more races. Ultimately, after a day of rest, the possible decisive match would take place on Friday (the eleventh and twelfth acts are scheduled) or even Saturday (date of the possible thirteenth match). In fact, we compete in the best of 13 challenges. You have to win seven races to get a pass to the 37th America's Cup, where the defender, Emirates Team New Zealand, awaits the winning boat.
