The sentence on the second day of competition is final: those who start behind have little chance of recovering. So far, in fact, there have been no overtaking, except for a few moments in race-4, when after the start Red Moon she managed to put the tip forward a few meters.
It was thought that the light wind (8/9 knots) could favor the Italian boat, the truth is that the hulls are the same, even if in the stern gaits The Rehutai always earns something.
Race-3 it started, after a postponement due to some boats too close to the competition field, in the best way for Luna Rossa, with the entry from the left that allowed her to choose which way to go.
Once ahead, Team Prada Pirelli did everything well, “marking” the opponents and often leaving them in the waste of their wind. Given the situation, the Kiwis started to maneuver a lot looking for fresh air on the sails and at the same time trying to put the Italian crew in difficulty, pushing them to have to maneuver a lot to avoid risks. However, our team’s performance was perfect and Luna Rossa went to the finish line without problems accomplishing the historic feat of winning two races in an America’s Cup (it had never happened before to an Italian boat).
The enthusiasm has re-entered race-4, when the Kiwis got off to a better start and threw their hull and soul to the left. Forced to go to the other side, the Prada Pirelli Team quickly understood that it would be a long agony. Far both by gap and by competition area, the Kiwis managed to exploit all the proteins of Te Rehutai, gaining meters after meters. Now disheartened, Luna Rossa slowly gave up, even ending up wide open before gate-2.
«It was a good day for both of us»Declared Luna Rossa helmsman James Spithill,« The start of race-4 went in their favor and this had a great impact on the race. Once you are in the drains everything is difficult, however I am satisfied ».
Two more races tonight. Set the alarm and prepare the coffee, it will be fun.
