Yesterday was a nail-biting race with the lead changing six times between Alinghi and Emirates Team New Zealand. The Swiss Defender fought back from 1.23 minutes behind to round the 2nd windward mark 15 seconds ahead, however, on the final run, in increasingly light and shifty conditions ETNZ snatched back the lead in the final few minutes to cross the finish line ahead by 25 seconds.

Don’t miss Craig Satterthwaite on Alinghi TV; he describes the pressures of racing at this level and explains his role on board SUI91 which went out daily with SUI100 to tune up the race boat before the match, also see the Match highlights and get a glimpse of behind the scenes at Alinghi HQ in Valencia…!
