Tom Slingsby, helmsman for New York Yacht Club American Magic, talked through the rudder-rake issue they faced in the pre-start with Orient Express saying: “There was a loud bang and we had a failure in the rudder system. It’s frustrating because it’s a completely new issue. We have sailed around here for six months now and never had a problem. We were sailing around for an hour prior to the race, doing all sorts of manoeuvres with no issues. Then we enter the start-box, cross the French, go into a tack and ‘bang. ’ You hope this never happens but the points in this event don’t count – and it would have been hard for us to progress to the final, even with a win – so it doesn’t really matter. But we lost a chance to get some more practice in, which is disappointing. ”
Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli kept their relentless pressure on, with a win against Ineos Britannia in the third race of the day after the British scored two penalties on themselves in the pre-start with a marginally early entry at the starting line and a boundary infringement. The resultant 150 metre forfeit was enough to give the Italians an early lead from which they built and were never headed, recording a 46 second victory and reaching the final.
Speaking afterwards, Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli helmsman Jimmy Spithill said he was looking forward to the Louis Vuitton Preliminary Regatta final against Emirates Team New Zealand with clear objectives: “It’s really just to learn as much as we can, and really just another great opportunity to have a shot at the Kiwis. I haven't seen the forecast yet but yeah, just another good opportunity to line-up against the top team. ”
