America’s Cup: Luna Rossa stands up to Team New Zealand

Before the next two regattas on Friday of the 36th edition of the prestigious event, which is contested in the best of 13 heats, the two yachts are therefore tied for 1 victory everywhere.

After gaining the advantage in the pre-start after aggressive maneuvers by skipper Peter Burling eliciting cheers from spectators watching over the Auckland waterfront, the New Zealand sailboat quickly took the lead in the regatta of opening.

On passing the first buoy, Team New Zealand was 14 seconds ahead, and then increased this advantage to finish 31 seconds ahead of their opponent.
