Not the Day the Brits were after in Barcelona | Day Summary - August 19th 2023 | America's Cup

For INEOS Britannia it was a day that promised much with around 7-8 knots of breeze at sea level just off the Barcelona beachfront and a very flat sea-state. Unfortunately for the sailors, the breeze died and on the tow out to find better breeze, near where the TP52 fleet were racing, a small tear occurred at the clew of the port skin of the mainsail whilst under tow and after investigation from the shore team and boat captain the day was canned. And Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli have a problem to solve. It’s a nice problem to have though. Such is their wealth of talent in the helming position with Jimmy Spithill, Francesco Bruni, Marco Gradoni and Ruggero Tita, all of whom are sailing at an incredibly high level, that Max Sirena will have sleepless nights when the call comes for the starting line-up ahead of the Challenger Selection Series this time next year.
