Sail-World presents live race updates from Day 8 of the Louis Vuitton Cup.

Emirates Team New Zealand are first up against Synergy.However the wind has been up and down in strength and with substantial variances in direction, and there has been two delays thus far.

Wind conditions in the race area are averaging 12 kts with gust to 20 kts from 209 degrees which is well around to the south and quite cold.

In the opening match Emirates Team NZ have led Synergy around the top mark by a margin of around 26secs, after the Russians led for much of the first leg, but elected to split tacks and paid heavily burning a 65 metre lead.
