Both the New Zealanders and the Italians left nothing to be desired and showed "BoatOne" in particular the limits. The Swiss-built yacht does not quite seem to be able to match the performance of the best high-tech projectiles.
After five defeats, the first round robin is over. Alinghi Red Bull Racing is in fifth and last place - the America's Cup defending champions New Zealand are out of contention in the challengers' cup.
Victories are now urgently needed for the Swiss crew in the second five races. Because one of the five challengers will be eliminated before the semi-finals. The focus is primarily on the duel against the Orient Express Racing Team. The French were regarded as outsiders, but have since improved, beating Alinghi Red Bull Racing and almost scoring a second point against the British on Sunday.
