Race Summaries - Day Twelve
More wind than we need today! A long wait until 1530 hours before the eased to a sailable range. Shifty around 300 degrees and 17 to 21 knots at the start of the day's first race. Still blowing at the top limit when racing was called at 1830. Just two races today.
Flight Twelve, Race Two: Mascalzone Latino def. TEAMORIGIN, 00:35 – Ben Ainslie’s TEAMORIGIN dominated the prestart and led off the line on starboard with the Italian boat Mascalzone Latino 33 metres astern on their starboard hip. Gavin Brady steering the Italian boat benefited from a right shift and led around the top mark by 10 seconds. Ainslie closed inexorably on the run to lead by three seconds, only lose any chance of winning when a spinnaker drop went bad. Grinder Mike Mottl was hurt when his leg was caught in a sheet. Crew eased the sheets and cut the sheet free. Mottl stayed aboard to finish the race before getting medical attention.
Flight Twentytwo, Race Two: All4One def. ALEPH Sailing Team, 00:15 – Bertrand Pacé and ALEPH led at the gun, on starboard, with a 14 metre advantage.
