 Victory Challenge holds top of the table (25/06/05)
(source : America's Cup)

Several hundred spectator boats took in some great fleet racing action on Saturday at the Valencia Louis Vuitton Act 5.

It was a hot day on the waters off Valencia and for the big spectator fleet, the light conditions meant patience would likely be a virtue.

In a repeat of yesterday, a general recall was sounded immediately after the start, and the recall was replaced by a postponement when the wind shifted. After a short delay, the Race Committee re-aligned the course and with the conditions more stable, racing started at 14:45 when a seven-knot Easterly breeze filled in.

Victory Challenge was strong on the water in both races, and left the race course leading the overall points table.

However a protest by the Race Committee against the Swedes for a possible measurement infringement, and a protest by Victory Challenge against the Race Committee for the scoring in the first race of the day means the results are very provisional.
