Light conditions prevail

Racing cancelled for day three of the Alinghi defender trials in Dubai

With the scoreboard 3-1 to Ed Baird (SUI91) at the beginning of Race Day 3, there was everything to play for. Peter Holmberg and Baird swapped boats for the second half of the regatta, but unfortunately, the conditions were against them and racing was cancelled due to light airs.

Tomorrow, Monday 19 February, is the final day of racing and will define the winner of Round 2 of the UBS Dubai Defender Trials. The prize-giving will be at 16:30 and will wrap up Alinghi’s winter training in Dubai before the team returns to Valencia, Spain, to continue training for the America’s Cup Match in June.
