The remaining races of Round Robin One were sailed on Saturday at the Louis Vuitton Cup and BMW ORACLE Racing split its matches on the day to stay at the top of the table. The home team, Desafío Español, beat the American team in Flight 10, handing BMW ORACLE Racing its first loss of the round. But skipper Chris Dickson and his crew recovered to beat Emirates Team New Zealand, securing first place.
Luna Rossa Challenge won both its matches on the day, to finish clear in second place, with the Kiwi team dropping to third. Desafío Español rode its victory over BMW ORACLE Racing to a fourth place finish in Round Robin One.
Conditions were excellent for racing with a 10 knot Northeasterly breeze on the race area set up just outside Port America's Cup. A large spectator fleet enjoyed the sunny Saturday weather along with some excellent Louis Vuitton Cup match racing. All of the matches featured fierce pre-starts followed by some classic match racing, as befits racing among the top six challengers.
Round Robin Two begins on Sunday with Flight One scheduled to begin with a warning signal at 14:05.
