Chris Dickson, Gavin Brady, the Erics Doyle and Peter Isler opened the way to Sten Mohr to the cane, Bertrand Pacé in the tactics, Rod Dawson like strategist and Ed Smyth like navigator. In the preexit, the Americans took to the Chinese against the boat of the Committee and they forced to them to leave towards the right side of the field regatas. Nothing else to leave, the USA 98 responded until in three occasions to each turned of the CHN 95, that tried to find wind clean. After obtaining a comfortable distance and commanding to the Chinese to the left, the Americans put rum alongside bo straight of the field and to which it seemed a safe victory. Everything was done for the USA 98, when, as it happened in Louis Vuitton Act 13, Genoa in two occasions was broken to them and saw how China Team expressed its Longtze to move away more than 1,500 meters in search of his first victory from 2005.

Just before arriving at the windward buoy, FRA 93 was placed to starboard and held until putting itself ahead and mounting first, with 99 ITA patch to their stern. In the empopada one we saw one of the most spectacular moments of Louis Vuitton Cup.

The French luffed to look for the error of Mascalzone, that sailed in parallel. The Italians responded to the placed maneuver behind schedule and both spinnakers was n in an impossible position while in their covers the flags rose demanding penalty. In the end, Sébastien Cabbage obtained its intention and penalized to the boat patroneado by Vascotto Basoue. In the fitted one, ITA 99 returned to the attack and, just before the windward buoy, it tried to bring about the penalty of the French with a spectacular and extremely aggressive maneuver, but the judges did not grant it.

In the preexit, ITA 85 catched to the Spaniards to starboard of the boat of the Committee to initiate first fitted with a a little more length of advantage. Then, ESP 97 invited to them to enter a war of turned which the Italians would leave favored. In the first buoy, +39 Challenge mounted 23 seconds before Spanish Desafío, but still was more than 9 miles of regata ahead. In the empopada one, Iain Percy managed to increase its distance still more, but nothing else to begin second fitted, the Italian boat had problems with its Genoa and facilitated the life of the Spaniards, who were placed ju sto to their stern.
