As the sun sets on a glorious day, the points table shows Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli, and Ineos Britannia, after scoring double race wins, just one point away from eliminating their opponents and securing their places in the Louis Vuitton Cup Final.

Such is the brutal nature of a competition where famously “There is no Second”, the simple fact is that for Alinghi Red Bull Racing and New York Yacht Club American Magic, they will both be eliminated from the tournament if they lose just one race tomorrow afternoon.

With winds gusting above 18 knots and recorded speeds on the racecourse in excess of 50 knots (92.6 Km/h), Day 2 saw the best racing coming between the Italians and Americans. In the first race Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli, were fired up from the start and eclipsed the hard driving Americans immediately off the start line, going on to capitalise on small boat-handling errors by the Americans, and securing vital boat positioning through outstanding race management, to win by 26 seconds.
