The final day saw the best sea breezes ever, with winds ranging from 12 to 16 knots. ----- After the last two fleet races, New Zealand and Italy faced each other in the match race final. Up until the final downwind leg, the two were tied, but after a dip Luna Rossa fell far behind. ----- Alinghi Red Bull was in the lead in the second fleet race after a failed first race, but then fell off the foils during the gybe and had to let the New Zealanders pass. Nevertheless, it was enough for third place overall at the end. The Swiss got better and better as the series progressed and were able to keep up with the two top teams. ----- The report.

With 12-16 knots of wind, the conditions on the second day of the pre-regatta were ideal for the AC40 monohulls.

The pre-regatta of the 6 America's Cup teams began yesterday in Jeddah with three races held in moderate seabreeze. Team New Zealand, who won the first two races by a large margin but only finished 5th after a mistake in the 5th race, were in commanding form. The young Italian team was also strong, securing 2nd place overall with a race win at the end. They were followed by Alinghi-Red-Bull and Ineos-Team GBR on equal points. The report with ranking.

Lots of wind and, above all, plenty of waves have made for rough training conditions over the past few days at the second pre-regatta of the America's Cup. Yesterday, only Team New Zealand and INEOS GBR were on the water. For today's official training regatta, however, moderate 10-12 knots have been forecast, ideal for the foiling monohulls. The Italians from Prada have radically rejuvenated their team: Nacra Olympic winner Ruggero Tita ITA and the 19-year-old Marco Gradoni ITA, who caused a sensation as three-time Opti World Champion, are taking the helm - the report. For Alinghi Red Bull , the regular crew of Arnaud Psarofaghis and Maxime Bachelin will be in action. The daily report.
