America's Cup Youth Regatta Group A, Races 1-4. Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli Shine more

All eyes were set on race two of the day and number four of the series, but it was a familiar story with Luna Rossa powering off the start line with pace and height to really put the pressure on the fleet. Initial competition came from Emirates Team New Zealand, but their challenge faded after manoeuvre errors down the first run that allowed the Italians to extend and never be headed. The story of the race though was for second and third, with Athena Pathway, and Alinghi Red Bull Racing, duking it out tack-for-tack and gybe-for-gybe all the way to the finish. The British squeezed ahead on the final gybe to secure their second runners-up place of the day, and move themselves up the points table. Luna Rossa's two victories sees them extend their lead at the top of the Group A leaderboard to 12 points, ahead of American Magic, in second and Great Britain’s Athena Pathway in third. Four more races are to come for the America's Cup teams of Group A, but all eyes will be on the UniCredit Youth America's Cup Group B Invited Teams, who are scheduled to start racing tomorrow. The UniCredit Youth America’s Cup is delivering top-class racing from the sport’s coming superstars in the perfect pathway yacht for the next generation to shine, the A C 40.
