AC 40-Catamaran - America's Cup Pre Regatta - Vilanova ESP - Practice Races

In Vilanova, just south of Barcelona, three training races were sailed yesterday in light winds - there was just enough for foiling. Team New Zealand with Peter Burling NZL clearly dominated with three race wins, while American Magic (Jimmy Spithill AUS) and Luna Rossa (Francesco Bruni ITA) were also always to be found at the front. Alinghi-Redbull (Arnaud Psarofaghis SUI) was never able to keep up with the others, finishing 4th/5th/5th. From today onwards, it's serious business, the winds are expected to get a bit stronger, the races will be broadcast live from 15.30h CET. The report.
