It’s all about ‘the start’. Emirates Team New Zealand takes 3rd win in the 37th Louis Vuitton America’s Cup

Race Day 2 starts out with a wind in and above the 7.5 limit and Team NZ in the lead with 2 wins and INEOS with 0 wins. Both teams brought high-energy aggression to the Mediterranean waters as tens of thousands of spectators throughout the beachfront were treated to a dramatic pre-start of race 3.

Pre-start aggression for not steering clear of Team NZ penalizes INEOS and NZ gets the lead right at the start. From there the Kiwi team kept a tight cover on the British all the way around the six-leg racetrack, gaining another very hard-earned point with a win by 52 seconds.

It was to be the only race of the day as the wind kept dropping below the minimum wind limit. The Race Committee postponed Race 4  and scheduled it to be sailed tomorrow, Monday October 14.

Stay tuned. Kiwis 3. Brits 0.
