LVT, Aleph sorprende a ETNZ, el resto de la jornada suspendida hasta que baje el viento
Jeremy Lomas cae al agua en el ETNZ, pero es subido a bordo rapidamente. Los kiwis rompieron un spi cuando ya iban detrás de Aleph y luego perdieron el amantillo que les demoró la izada del spi.

Aleph wins against Emirates in Louis Vuitton
09:23 PM Sunday 14 Mar 2010 : Oceania
An exciting race for Aleph with a win against Emirates Team New Zealand this morning on Aucklands Waitemata Harbour.
Aleph looked strong from the start and appeared to lead over the start line. Emirates was close on their tail and looked to be in reach of overtaking. but this chance diminished when Emirate's kite ripped and the team had to spend time trying to gather in the billowing sail. The sail was finally cut loose and left floating in the water for the support crew to pick up.
Like true professionals the Emirates team worked hard to sort out their foredeck and regain control.
Aleph continued to sail without mistakes and crossed the finish line ahead of the kiwis - no doubt ecstatic at their win against such a powerful foe.
