Louis Vuitton Cup Semi-Finals: Day 3 Showdown
The Louis Vuitton Cup Semi-Finals on Day 3 presented challenging conditions with borderline sailable winds. The races had to start in 6.5 knots, and one boat had to finish within the 45-minute time limit.
Alinghi Red Bull Racing faced INEOS Britannia in a close battle, with Alinghi securing their first win of the Semi-Finals just 3 minutes and 38 seconds inside the time limit. Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli and New York Yacht Club American Magic also had a competitive race, with American Magic emerging victorious in marginal conditions.
The wind conditions led to a postponement of the second races of the day until Wednesday. Stay tuned for more updates on the Louis Vuitton Cup Semi-Finals on sail-world.com.
