Match race 5 is USA against Italy.
It was an extremely challenging regatta, that was started in the borderline weather conditions for the A C 75 boats of a meagre 7 to 8 knots, and patchy wind across the whole racecourse. With a good start on her opponents, Luna Rossa was ahead of the American boat, and stretched the lead halfway down the first upwind leg, rounding the mark with a 17-second lead, maintained until the next mark. During the second upwind leg however, after a series of very close crosses that cost the Italian boat 2 penalties, the situation reversed, and American Magic switched lead. The gap was minimal, and both boats raced the next downwind gate almost side by side. Luna Rossa made a call to round the same mark as the Americans, engaging on the inside with just a one-second of difference, but then fell off the foils. From that point onwards it became impossible for the Italian boat to lift back on the foils, and upturn the result.
The Winner was American Magic, USA who now has 1 point, Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli has 4.
