So how does it work?

Teams must first compete in a series of regattas, culminating in the Louis Vuitton Cup, which determines the main event’s challenger. This year’s matchup will see Team New Zealand as the defender take on Ineos Britannia after the Britons won the right to challenge New Zealand by beating Italy’s Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli comfortably in the decisive race. The current format features a best of 13 series; the first to win seven races takes home the Cup. This year’s edition begins with the first two races on 12 October. After that, the third and fourth races are set for 13 October. Subsequent races will occur on 16 October for the fifth and sixth races and on 18 October for the seventh. If necessary, the eighth race will be held on 18 October, the ninth and 10th on 19 October, the 11th and 12th on 20 October. The final race, if required, will take place on 21 October.

Preamble

Saturday didn’t go well for Sir Ben Ainslie and his crew. While they were winning the Louis Vuitton Cup, the New Zealand team were clearly working on their craft. So, 2-0 to the Kiwis and Team Ineos Britannia really need to salvage something from Sunday to keep their heads above water.

We start to race at 1pm, UK time. Join me.
