AC-50-Catamaran - Louis Vuitton Cup - Hamilton BER - Day 2

Moderate winds prevailed yesterday and six more duel were held at Round Robin 1 of the Louis Vuitton Cup, the Challenger qualification event for the America's Cup. 'Artemis' with Nathan Outteridge AUS, considered as a favorite after a flawless tune-up race period before the event, had a bizarre day. In the first race of the day, they lost against the French 'Groupama Team' with Franck Cammas FRA - with a mini-budget an absolute outsider. This was apparently a wake-up call, as they dominated afterwards the Cup holder 'Oracle' with Jimmy Spithill AUS who had to clearly accept the first defeat. 'Emirates Team New Zealand' was the only team with two wins yesterday.
In the interim's rankings, 'Oracle' is first with a 4-1 w/l result ahead of 'Team New Zealand with Peter Burling (3-1) and 'BAR' with Ben Ainslie (1-3, but with 2 bonus points as World Series winner) on rank 2. The news with results and videos as well as the comment of Paul Cayard USA.
