  • Team NZ Lead Luna Rossa in America's
    ARAB TIMES, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 17, 2021 SPORTS 14 Team NZ lead Luna Rossa in America’s Cup Defenders move to match point AUCKLAND, New Zea- land, March 16, (AP): Match point Team New Zealand. The America’s Cup Defender beat Italian challenger Luna Rossa by 30 seconds in the only race that could be sailed Tues- day to move ahead 6-3 in the fi rst-to-seven-win series in Auckland. For the third race in a row, Team New Zealand came from behind to beat Luna Rossa, delivering a crushing blow to the morale of the Italian team which has been constantly competitive in the 36th America’s Cup match but plagued by bad luck or bad decisions. Luna Rossa led around the first four marks on the six-leg course but not by more than 9 seconds. On a day of light and shifty conditions, when the race course had to be set and re-set, Team New Zealand picked up a right shift on the last beat to snatch the lead and the race. Throughout the afternoon the breeze – sometimes full at 15 knots, at other times light and puffy at 7 knots – tracked from southwest to west and back on what is known as the Stadium Course. Course C is closest to the land of the five Cup course, overlooked by North Head and visible to traffic on Auckland’s busy Tamaki drive. SAILING The start of the second of the day’s two races was delayed as the breeze again flitted about, defying the match committee’s efforts to set a true course.
