Succumbing to the loss against the British and then a second loss to Emirates Team New Zealand today, Alinghi Red Bull Racing looked to be struggling for horsepower in the breeze and waves. Maxime Bachelin, port helm took a modicum of positives away from both races but knows that it will be a tricky final race against Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli tomorrow saying: “It was quite a tough day for us. We were expecting a better performance from us in the waves, so we are a bit disappointed I would say. Tomorrow is just one match, and we will go for it and try to win this one as we can see that Luna Rossa is beatable.”
Andy Maloney, trimmer on Emirates Team New Zealand, commented about their uncustomary ragged start but clinical race execution thereafter against the Swiss, saying: “We didn’t get off to the best start and I think that was probably our biggest mistake in the race. It was tricky conditions to sail the boat and great practice for us out there in that stuff, that’s really what we need to work on. Everyone’s got great boats and great packages, so we know it’s going to be a lot about the pre-start and that first exchange off the line, trying to predict the first shift, who’s going to win on the first interaction – that’s going to be a lot of the race so we’re really focusing on that. Today we didn’t quite nail that, but we will go back and look to see how we could have done better.”
If the schedule is completed, Sunday’s racing will see the final spot in the Louis Vuitton Cup semi-final secured. It’s a straight deal – Orient Express Racing Team must beat Ineos Britannia to draw level with Alinghi Red Bull Racing. For the Swiss, they will guarantee their spot if they beat Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli but will face a race-off if the French finish tied on points
