After yesterday’s forced stop, the crew of Mascalzone Latino Audi Team haven’t been able to race their scheduled match for the second consecutive day. Given the impossibility to race on the two yachts provided by BMW Oracle after their collision, the match has been necessarily rescheduled.

The necessity to alternate crews on a single pair of yachts combined with the capricious winds has inevitably delayed the program. Today, the “Latin Rascals” were scheduled to race in the sixth and last match but at around 7:30pm, Race Director, Peter Luigi Reggio, sent the crews back to port due to a technical problem on one of the yachts.

Tomorrow, Mascalzone Latino Audi Team will race, weather allowing, against the French of Aleph in the fourth flight.
