Luna Rossa - K-Challenge : 1 - 0

It wasn't an easy win for the Italian team Luna Rossa. K-Challenge, skippered by Thierry Peponnet got off to a very good start and was ahead by 17 seconds at the first mark. Nevertheless, James Spithill raced ahead in the second leg, rounding the second mark 13 seconds ahead of the French. From that point it was a very close race and the Italians crossed the finish line first with just a 10-second advantage
