Today, Friday 7th of August, has been the fifth day of regatta, and again there were surprises: the maxi Alfa Romeo (Neville Crichton / Ben Ainsley - NZL) was third and fourth in the two races of the day

Again, like yesterday, winds below 10 knots were the cause of these results for the Kiwis. However, Alfa Romeo continues to maintain a very comfortable advantage over her pursuers: 9 points over Bella Mente (Hap Fauth - USA) and 11.5 points over Container (Udo Schuetz / Marcus Wieser - GER).
