Prada Cup - Auckland NZL - Semi Final - Day 1 - Two victories for Luna Rossa

In fresh winds of up to 22kn, the first two duels of the Prada Cup semi-finals were sailed this morning. Luna Rossa (Francesco Bruni ITA / Jimmy Spithill AUS) easily prevailed twice with a lead of over 3 minutes each. The American Magic Team apparently did not have enough time to test their Cupper sufficiently on the water after the repairs. Nevertheless, the Americans managed to reach 53.31kn (99.2 km/h), the highest speed ever achieved at the Prada Cup. ----- The event website with all reports and videos.
