Spanish public behind their team

After another two wins Desafio Espanol are now in fourth position in the Louis Vuitton Cup league table(the top four teams at the end of this round will go into the semifinals) Some say that in order that the whole event is a success local support is a must, yesterday the Spanish teams performances made the front pages of their national newspapers, so we are on the right track. Yesterday the winds reached 14 knots which was too much for some of the boats, BMW Oracle had problems with their head sail coming off its attachments (this cost them the race against China Team) and +39 had all sorts of technical problems. But for the spectators this is what we have been waiting for, to see just what these 24 tonne 24 meter long racing machines with 17 super motivated crew are capable of. After two flights of Round Robin 2. BMW Oracle Racing and Luna Rossa share the lead with 23 points, followed by Emirates Team New Zealand with 20 points and Desafio Espanol with 19.
