Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli in today’s second regatta, the sixth of the Louis Vuitton Cup final, staged in the waters off Barcelona, after losing the fifth round, redeemed itself, beat Ineos Britannia and brought the series back to parity . Now the Italians and the English are at 3-3. The AC75 with the banner of the Circolo della VELA Sicilia, after a practically equal start, made a good first leg (of the eight total of today’s match races) and passed ahead at the first gate with a 4″ advantage. The gap then increased in the second and third legs of the challenge. Thus Luna Rossa, helmed as usual by the duo of the Sicilian Francesco Bruni and the Australian Jimmy Spithill, was able to control and mark the English boat, with team principal Ben Ainslie, for the rest of the race. , until crossing the finish line first.
The situation of parity therefore continues in this Vuitton Cup final, which will continue tomorrow: two more match races are scheduled, the seventh and eighth of the series. Then the two boats are expected to return to sea on Wednesday for two more races. Ultimately, after a day of rest, the eventual decisive match would take place on Friday (the eleventh and twelfth acts are scheduled) or even on Saturday (the date of the eventual thirteenth match). In fact, we compete in the best of 13 challenges. You need to win seven rounds to get a pass for the 37th America’s Cup, where the defender, Emirates Team New Zealand, awaits the winning boat.
