Louis Vuitton Prelim Regatta Day 4 Highlights – August 25
Welcome to our live coverage of the final day of the Louis Vuitton Preliminary Event taking place in Barcelona. We will provide leg-by-leg reporting on race standings, margins, and expert commentary.
Although three match races are still to be sailed, they will not impact the final match-up, which will feature Emirates Team NZ competing against Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli.
On Sunday, the 25th, we can expect the strong Northerly winds in the Mediterranean to shift and weaken by the afternoon as they come from the East and East-South-East. The wind strength is a bit uncertain, but we anticipate speeds between 6-12 knots, with a possibility of increasing gusts up to 18 knots later in the day. Expect cloudy conditions with temperatures being a few degrees cooler and a slight chance of rain that could influence the wind patterns.
