Alinghi leads the 'big
four' at the top (21/05/06) (source : America's
Cup)
The Swiss Defender Alinghi won
its third of the five fleet races, winning LV Act
11.
Behind them, BMW Oracle Racing and Luna Rossa made
gains over the course of the race to crowd the top
of the leaderboard.
The 'Latin Rascals' of Mascalzone Latino-Capitalia
had another good day, securing fifth place overall,
while Shosholoza confirmed that the improvement
it has shown over the course of the last four Acts
is genuine, finishing in the top half of the standings
again.
For United Internet Team Germany, Victory Challenge
and the home Desafío Español squad, Act 11 was one
they'd rather forget, with each finishing lower
than they'd wish on the points table.
China Team didn't race on Sunday after suffering
structural damage to their boat on Saturday afternoon.
Following the racing, Alinghi was presented with
the Louis Vuitton Act 11 trophy in front of a boisterous
crowd during a 'docking ceremony' at the America's
Cup Park. .
