America's Cup World Series - San Diego_
Three races were held today on San Diego Bay
in 10 knots of wind and flat water. Now in the third event of this series, the fleet is getting much
more competitive resulting in closer racing and lots of mixing of the
results.
The top team after three races is the French Team Energy with 24 points
followed by Emirates Team New Zealand with 23 points, ORACLE Racing Spithill
with 22 and Artemis Racing with 21. The individual race winners were ORACLE
Racing Coutts in race one, followed by Artemis Racing in race 2 and Energy
in Race 3.
A "Time Trial" was held after race three which was won by Emirates Team New
Zealand with an average speed of 21.2 knots across the 500 meter course.
At the conclusion of the fleet racing tomorrow, the top two teams will be
seeded into the match racing semi-finals on Saturday, while the teams in
places 3-6 will race in the quarter-finals Friday.
