With the racing schedule condensed after postponements, it was another difficult day for the Race Committee at the Puig Women’s America’s Cup who had to remain patient as light airs thwarted their efforts to complete the Group A America’s Cup Teams Qualification Series.
After waiting all day, having initially sent the Group A teams out for a 1000 CET start, finally – just after 1630 CET – enough breeze was found to complete a single late afternoon do-or-die race to decide the Group A Qualification Series.
This was followed quickly after by an evening series of four quick-fire races between the top three crews from Groups A and B (the Invited Teams) to decide the inaugural event’s Semi-Final stage, where Britain’s Athena Pathway and Italy’s Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli Women’s Team finished on top, tied on 27 points.
