 Dominating performance for Alinghi (21/06/05)
(source : America's Cup)

Alinghi, the Defender of the 32nd America's Cup continued its winning ways, sweeping through the Valencia Louis Vuitton Act 4, earning a perfect record and the top of the table.

The Swiss team appeared to have the regatta won on Monday night, pending the result of a request for redress by Luna Rossa. This morning, the Jury ruled no redress would be given, meaning Alinghi had won the event before its race today.

That didn't slow Ernesto Bertarelli's team however, as Alinghi raced to victory on the water over Luna Rossa, completing the sweep.

Close, intense matches further down the leaderboard determined other places, including Emirates Team New Zealand, who finished clear second with a win over BMW Oracle Racing. Sweden's Victory Challenge also sailed well, squeaking past Desafío Español 2007 for fifth place.

There were good conditions for racing again on Tuesday, with a moderate Southeast seabreeze from eight to 12 knots. Racing was postponed briefly on the Southern (Juliet) race course after a wind shift in the first start. The course was re-aligned and racing started shortly afterwards.
