THUNDERBOLTS AND LIGHTNING IN AMERICA’S CUP

AMERICA’S CUP : THUNDERBOLTS AND LIGHTNING

 

Rain clouds coming off the mountains to the north of Barcelona produced some challenging and dynamic conditions with enormous shifts in the wind on day one of the Louis Vuitton Cup second Round Robin – the stage of the Challenger Selection Series where every race really matters. It’s ultra-serious from here on in with the immutable fact that for one team on Sunday, if everything goes to schedule, their Louis Vuitton 37th America’s Cup dream ends and they are eliminated. A harsh reality.
