Artemis crew making repairs. The bowsprit and forward kingpost were broken off in the crash. The team needed to cut away the rigging that supported the bowsprit.
After Three Events
The top line for each team shows their points. The second line is their race results. High point scoring. First place earns 10 points on Saturday, 20 points on Sunday. Last place on Sunday earns 10 points, just like first place on Saturday. Seems odd, but that's the way it is.
America's Cup World Series - Standings and Bermuda Results
Three events, three different winners.
Land Rover BAR won the opening event on their home waters in Portsmouth.
Emirates Team New Zealand took the event in Gothenburg, the only regatta with racing on two days.
Artemis Racing took the prize in Bermuda, in spite of a collision with an umpire boat.
Notable by their absence in this list is the defender, Oracle Team USA who were on the podium at each regatta but have not managed to win one.
ETNZ leads the America's Cup World Series with Oracle in second. In the table above, the red numbers are the results for Sunday races, which count double.

Racing in Bermuda
You have to love a place where the "clock" tower on City Hall shows the wind direction!
Over 500 boats came out to watch the first America's Cup World Series racing in Bermuda. Image: ACTV
The race area was just to the west of Two Rock Passage. For the America's Cup World Series the Village was in Hamilton, with the boats moored off Front Street. In 2017 the AC Village will be at Dockyard and the race area will be over more of the Great Sound.
The Race Committee had hoped to have the second race of each day finish in Hamilton Harbor. When Saturday's racing was cancelled for lack of winds, three races were scheduled for Sunday and there was not enough time to race all the way in to Hamilton. Map: ACEA.
The race course was very short - typically two tacks or gybes on each leg.
