Welcome to Day 5 of the 35th America’s Cup, presented by Louis Vuitton.

Racing resumes, with four races on tap, after yesterday’s unscheduled off day because of a lack of wind.

The action starts just after 2pm with a battle between two teams fighting for survival at two points each — SoftBank Team Japan and Groupama Team France.

Today’s winds should be back to west-southwest at about 8-10 knots.

The forecast will test the team’s light-air prowess should the breeze remain stable enough to conduct races.

Review

Back on Tuesday, the fourth day of racing featured another dramatic contest between Artemis Racing and Emirates Team New Zealand. Artemis fouled New Zealand in a port-starboard incident at the last upwind mark and New Zealand took the win. Deltas [time differences] at marks went from 0 seconds to 3 seconds again, except at the finish.

Oracle then beat Team France handily.

Land Rover BAR took Artemis and said: “Skipper Ben Ainslie and the team sailed their best race to date, winning another great pre-start against Artemis Racing, accelerating around the Swedish team before hitting 43 knots on the first leg to lead by ten seconds at mark one.”

It was a clean race for the Britishs.

The BAR crew put together a series of good manoeuvres. Changes to the set-up freed up tactician Giles Scott, who made sure the team stayed between the finish and the opposition.

Artemis appeared to be the “form” team in practice, but are struggling now tied at the bottom of the leaderboard. They do not race on Day 5.
