There is never a dull moment in the America’s Cup racing. Two minutes before Race 2 was set to begin, Luna Rossa failed to enter the racing zone and was disqualified – the WIN goes to Alinghi.

There was a technical issue, Luna Rossa’s foiling arm malfunctioned, failing to retract correctly, the Italian boat was unable to foil. 

Alinghi drove across the start line to take the win. Game over.
