Alinghi Red Bull still has a lot of work to do. The Swiss crew was beaten twice on the third day of the America's Cup pre-regatta.
Starting next Thursday off the coast of Barcelona, five yachts will be selected as the challenger to sail against defending champion Team New Zealand for the America's Cup on October 12.
It seems that Alinghi Red Bull will have a lot of catching up to do before then. On Saturday, "BoatOne" was clearly inferior to the yacht of the British team Ineos and also to the New Zealanders.
The Swiss crew led by skipper Arnaud Psarofaghis has now lost three times in a row after its opening victory against the French Orient Express Racing Team. American Magic was significantly faster on Friday. The duel with the Italian syndicate Luna Rossa will follow on Sunday at the end of the pre-regatta.
