The Swiss sailing syndicate Alinghi RB is increasingly losing sight of qualification for the Americas Cup. The Swiss team also went down in the third semi-final of the preliminary competition.
Already on Saturday in the first two races against the British, everything went wrong for Alinghi. The Swiss were hoping for a reaction on Sunday. Instead, the third race was also lost before the start. Alinghi fell off the foils in the pre-start zone. The Swiss then had to struggle with the unmaneuverable boat, were only just able to avoid a collision with the British and fell off the foils again. The Swiss crossed the start line 40 seconds after Britannia.
In a race that was already more than decided, the gap only increased. In the end, the Swiss were two and a half kilometers behind the British.
Like the Britannia against the Alinghi, Italy's Luna Rossa also leads the USA team American Magic by 3:0 after three races. The first team to win five races will advance to the final of the challengers.
