Louis Vouitton Cup 2007 Semifinal: Luna Rossa x BMW

O melhor momento de toda Louis Vouitton Cup foi sem dúvida a quinta regata da semi-final entre os barcos BWM/Oracle, dos Estados Unidos e Luna Rossa, da Itália e com o brasileiro Torben Grael como tático. Dois incidentes durante a pré-largada mostraram toda a superioridade do Luna Rossa e resultaram na demissão sumária do comandante do barco BWM/Oracle, o nova-zelandês Cris Dickson.

FYI - windward leeward only applies to boats on same tack ..... this was a port starboard.

Been looking fo rthis for a while ...... James is truley amazing and had an opp to see the AC 45 in SD when he won the match and fleet raciing ...... you can see why Larry needed him on Oracle

@MrSAILINGROCKS But Chris DIckson boar away too aggressively and hence caused the contact. That in my opinion was the reason.

wait the windward boat must give way so shouldnt that be luna rosa's penalty?

[MrSAILINGROCKS]

the windward must keep clear so james spithill would be at fault so bmw would be in the clear

[sennalaleyenda]

great spithill, perfect prestart

You suck!!! Italy is the best! we have fuck you!

This is the race the probably got Chris Dickson fired from BMW/Oracle.

Now, Spithill will be helmsman alongside Russell Coutts on the new, revamped BMW/Oracle team.
