The Louis Vuitton Cup 2024 Challenger Final continues with this weekend’s four-race schedule in Barcelona.
Race News Update
The first race of day 2 was delayed 2 hours and then, when finally started, Ineos Britannia led round the first 5 marks.
The race was abandoned with both boats sailing in displacement mode and the 45 minute time limit looming.
All racing for the day was then abandoned. And they will try again Sunday.
After a tit-for-tat opening day, the British and Italian America’s Cup team are tied on one point each. We can expect that to change, but will we see a dominant team emerge?
