It still remains at 1-1 in the final series, best of thirteen races, between Luna Rossa and Ineos Britannia, which will crown the winner of the Luois Vuitton Cup and thus designer the challenger to Emirates New Zealand in the 37th edition of the America's Cup. The weather in Barcelona has a hand in it, making it useless for the two boats to take to the water.

The wind è too weak to start at the scheduled time on the schedule, it is necessary to wait two hours for the conditions to allow the start of matchrace number 3: Ineos Britannia gains a good lead over the Italian boat, but is betrayed by the wind that drops to almost zero, preventing the completion of the race within the 45 minutes stipulated by the rules and allowing Luna Rossa's crew to breathe a sigh of relief.

All postponed until Sunday then, in a challenge that Luna Rossa had started Thursday with a 46" win, except losing the next race by 16". The road for both teams è still very long, since only whoever reaches seven successes will be able to win the trophy reserved for challengers.

Luna Rossa’s crew today included Jimmy Spithill and Francesco Bruni at the helm, with Umberto Molineris and Andrea Tesei as trimmers. The cyclors, on the other hand, were Enrico Voltolini, Bruno Rosetti, Cesare Gabbia and Emanuele Liuzzi.
