Alinghi America’s Cup regatta performance

Overview

Tudor Team Alinghi competed in the Louis Vuitton 38th America’s Cup Preliminary Regatta in Naples, initially holding third place. Despite facing technical difficulties including hydraulic issues and a chain wrapped around a foil, the Swiss team managed to secure second and third-place finishes in Fleet Races 3 and 4, bringing their total to 38 points.

However, the team’s standing declined by the conclusion of the pre-regattas. Following a setback in the final race, Alinghi finished in seventh place overall. Trimmer Nicolas Rolaz attributed the drop in ranking to a maneuver error, stating, “We missed our first gybe, which caused us to fall back in the pack,” and suggesting the crew may have confused speed with haste.
