Auckland (NZ), January 23, 2021 – Another weekend of racing in Auckland for the PRADA Cup, the Challenger Selection Series that determines the first team to enter the PRADA Cup Final.
American Magic stayed on shore, at work to repair the damage incurred during last Sunday’s accident, following which the schedule was revised, leaving only two races to be held between Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli and INEOS Team UK on Saturday and Sunday. The racecourse chosen for today’s racing was course C, with an average of 17 knots from south-west and significant shifts both in direction and intensity. It was a balanced regatta, where both boats alternately took the lead throughout the first 3 legs. When reaching the final downwind the British team stretched forward and crossed the finish line 33 seconds in front of Luna Rossa. With this victory, INEOS advances directly to the PRADA Cup Finals and wins the PRADA Christmas Cup trophy that had not been awarded at Christmas.
