Emirates Team New Zealand - Luna Rossa : 1 - 0

The second "Big Four" race of the day was between the Italian challenger Luna Rossa and Emirates Team New Zealand. This was the first defeat of Luna Rossa in the Louis Vuitton Act 6. The New Zealand team demonstrated once again their strength, despite the small advantage James Spithill, skipper of Luna Rossa, managed to gain at the start. The New Zealanders rounded the first mark 16 seconds ahead of the Italians and through a close race managed to finish with exactly half a minute of advantage.

As a result of this race, Alinghi and Emirates Team New Zealand are the only unbeaten teams so far in Louis Vuitton Act 6
