ORACLE Racing Spithill were patient, chipping away and climbing up to finish in second place, overhauling Luna Rossa Piranha and relegating the Italians to third in the latter stages of the race.

After dominating both races yesterday, Emirates Team New Zealand struggled to recover from a penalty early, trailing the fleet for a long time and only stealing two places towards the finish to record a seventh place - "Every point counts," was the chatter on board as the disappointed Kiwis crossed the line.
